## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed a tender process to procure Kaftrio (all strengths), a medical equipment and pharmaceutical product. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Vertex Pharmaceuticals, with a total value of £25.8 million. The procurement took place in the health sector in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Belfast area. The contract was signed on 7th February 2024.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses in the medical equipment and pharmaceutical industry to engage with the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. Companies specialising in supplying medical equipment and pharmaceutical products would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. As the procurement was for branded patent-protected medicines, it required a particular economic operator due to exclusive rights. Understanding the essential nature of such products in patient care can guide businesses on suitable offerings for future opportunities in this sector.
