## Summary

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the acquisition of Secukinumab (Homecare). This contract falls under the pharmaceutical products category and relates to the supply of 150 mg and 300 mg prefilled syringes and pens. The contract, identified by DAC116/1024PM, is limited in scope due to the protection of exclusive rights, with no viable alternatives available. Located in Antrim, UKN0, the procurement method used was negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, permitted by Regulation 32(2)(b)iii. The contract was signed on 1 October 2024 and is set to run for a maximum period of 36 months, totalling £2,500,000 GBP.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical supplies, particularly those with exclusive rights to specific medicinal products. The unique nature of the contract, mandating that only certain economic operators can supply the required drugs, highlights avenues for companies that own or have exclusive licenses for similar pharmaceutical products. Businesses with capabilities to meet high standards in delivering homecare medicinal products would find this tender beneficial for growth and expanding their portfolio within the healthcare sector. The awarded supplier for this contract is SCIENSUS PHARMA SERVICES LIMITED, indicating the Trust's confidence in large-scale pharmaceutical service providers.

Contract for procurement of SECUKINUMAB 150 mg and 300mg prefilled syringes and pens (Homecare) for maximum of 36 months

### Procurement Information

Regulation 32(2)(b)iii permits the award of a public contract by a negotiated procedure without prior publication where the works, supplies or services can only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The NHSCT requires the purchase of Secukinumab which is subject to patent protection / Sole MA Holder and consequently no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.
