## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has recently completed the procurement of Ivacaftor 150mg Tablets (28 tablet pack) under the award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement falls under the medical equipments, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products industry category. The contract, valued at £25,000,000 GBP, was signed on April 18, 2024. The tablets are to be delivered to the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust Pharmacy in the UKN region.
