## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT) has completed a procurement process for the supply of Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor 200mg/125mg tablets (112 tablet pack), classified under medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. This procurement, identified by DACPM2024-134, concerns the delivery of these essential medicines to the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust's pharmacy. The award stage has recently concluded, with the contract signed on 4 February 2025. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the need to protect intellectual property rights, as these branded medications are patent-protected and exclusively supplied by Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for pharmaceutical companies specialising in critical and patented medications. Given the nature of the procurement, businesses capable of providing patented medicines that meet essential healthcare needs will find opportunities here. Organisations with expertise in delivering specialised pharmaceuticals and holding exclusive supply rights for such medicines are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, ensuring their products are integral to patient care within healthcare institutions like the BHSCT.
