## Summary

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the contract named "Contract for ASCIMINIB 40mg tablets", classified under the "Pharmaceutical products" category. This contract involves the provision of ASCIMINIB 40mg tablets for up to three years. The procurement method used was a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the protection of exclusive rights. The contract was awarded to Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK, with the contract being signed on 1 October 2024 and the process reaching completion on 28 October 2024. The location for delivery is within the United Kingdom, specifically Northern Ireland (UKN). The total value of the contract is £130,000.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pharmaceutical distribution and those with interests in patent-protected medical products. Given the nature of the limited procurement method through negotiated procedure owing to exclusive rights, this tender is particularly relevant for large pharmaceutical firms holding such exclusive rights, capable of fulfilling supply requirements under stringent regulatory conditions. Businesses that can provide specialised pharmaceutical products with protected intellectual property would be well-suited to engage in similar future contracts.

### 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 Northern Health and Social Care Trust requires the purchase of ASCIMINIB 40mg which is subject to patent protection / Sole MA Holder and consequently no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.
