The tender, titled "IPTACOPAN HYDROCHLORIDE MONOHYDRATE 200MG CAPSULES," pertains to the pharmaceutical industry, specifically under the CPV classification of pharmaceutical products. Located in Belfast, the process is guided by a direct procurement method due to the patent-protected nature of the product, thus leading to a direct award to Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London. The procurement process has seen various stages, including award and contract completion, with key events such as contract start and end dates ranging from the 3rd of June, 2025, to the 30th of June, 2027. The most recent update involves a contract termination notice issued on 20th April 2026 due to unspecified reasons associated with the contract's termination classification. This procurement creates growth opportunities especially for large pharmaceutical companies capable of supplying patented medicines crucial to patient care. Given the specific requirements and the nature of the procurement method, businesses with patented products and exclusive distribution rights, like Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited, are well-positioned to compete in such tenders. The direct award approach underscores the importance of innovation and exclusive intellectual property rights, suggesting an opportunity for businesses to develop patented solutions that meet essential health needs. With the procurement covering substantial contract values and spanning significant durations, suppliers in the pharmaceutical sector can anticipate stable business engagements and enhanced market access through such government contracts. ## Notice Procurement of IPTACOPAN HYDROCHLORIDE MONOHYDRATE 200MG CAPSULES, 56 capsules, pack ### Procurement Information These are branded patent protected medicines that are essential to patient care and are available from only one economic operator.
