## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, a central government public authority located in Portadown, United Kingdom, entails the direct award of a contract for the supply of Baricitinib tablets, a pharmaceutical product used for various inflammatory conditions. The procurement, categorized under goods, was in the award stage as of 13th May 2026. The direct award was justified due to the intellectual property or exclusive rights held by the supplier, SCIENSUS PHARMA SERVICES LIMITED, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The contractual agreement is slated to commence on 14th May 2026 and conclude on 13th May 2029, with a total contract value of £840,000 gross, with £700,000 net.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pharmaceuticals, particularly those holding exclusive rights to critical medications. The direct award method underscores the importance of holding intellectual property rights or exclusive access to unique medical products in the competitive procurement landscape. While the contract itself was not open for competition due to the proprietary nature of the product, businesses aiming to secure similar opportunities might focus on developing exclusive products or partnerships that leverage their unique competitive advantages and intellectual property holdings to engage effectively with public sector entities like the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
