## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the supply of Obeticholic Acid Film Coated Tablets in a 30 Tablet Pack. The procurement, categorised under medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, falls within the goods procurement category. Located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the Belfast area (UKN), the tender was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication due to the protection of exclusive rights. The contract was awarded on 4th February 2025 for a total amount of £500,000 to Alcura Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of patent-protected pharmaceuticals. Companies with a focus on medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, especially those that hold exclusive rights to certain drugs, are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The process highlights the necessity for proprietary products, making it an excellent opportunity for businesses that can provide specialised and exclusive medical products to engage with public health institutions and secure lucrative contracts.
