The process, which followed an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, was finalised on 21st August 2024. This procurement pertains to branded, patent-protected medicines essential to patient care, available from a single economic operator. The contract, valued at £340,000 GBP, was signed on 14th August 2024, with Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd. being the awarded supplier.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers of specialised pharmaceutical products. Although the tender for SIPONIMOD was awarded to Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd. due to the exclusive nature of the product, future tenders from BHSCT in similar categories could be a lucrative opportunity. Businesses with expertise in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, particularly those that can offer unique or patent-protected items, are well-suited to compete in such specialised procurement processes. This close collaboration with a major health trust like BHSCT can also enhance a company’s portfolio and credibility within the medical and pharmaceutical supply chain.
