## Summary

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust, a public authority operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations, has conducted a direct award procurement process for Asciminib Tablets available in packs of 60 tablets of all strengths. This process adheres to the legal basis under UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement falls within the pharmaceutical industry category and is categorised under goods. A significant phase of this procurement concluded with the awarding of a contract to NOVARTIS PHARMACEUTICALS UK LIMITED, a large scale supplier. The contract, valued at £260,000, commenced on 3rd June 2025 and is scheduled to end on 30th June 2027.

This tender, while specifically directed due to the unique intellectual property rights held by the supplier, offers vital growth potential for pharmaceutical companies involved in producing and distributing specialised, patent-protected medications. Businesses well-suited to this opportunity are those who have the capability and authorisation to provide branded pharmaceutical products essential for health care, particularly within the UK region. Although the competition was limited in this tender due to the exclusivity of the supplier, such opportunities highlight the critical role of patented products in public health procurement.
