UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Health and Social Care Trust procured the supply of inclisiran solution for injection, a pharmaceutical product, for use in its health services. The requirement is for supply over a three-year contract period. Delivery is specified in the United Kingdom, without a more precise delivery location identified. The procurement covers one lot and concerns the medicine itself; no associated services or works are described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited. The Trust used a direct award, citing the supplier’s exclusive intellectual property or other rights and stating that this was the only commercially available product, with no competition or alternative. The award is valued at £400,000 excluding VAT and £500,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 November 2026 to 10 November 2029. The award information records the supplier and value; no separate award decision date is stated.

For suppliers assessing future demand from this buyer, the purchase indicates a requirement for a specific pharmaceutical product rather than a broad medicines range. The stated basis for selecting Novartis was that it alone could supply the commercially available inclisiran product because of exclusive rights, so an alternative supplier would need to address product availability and the relevant rights to supply. Credibility would also depend on the capacity to provide the medicine reliably over a multi-year supply arrangement. This procurement used a direct award rather than a competitive tender, reflecting the buyer’s stated lack of an available alternative for this product.
