## Summary

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has completed a direct award contract for the procurement of branded TRAMETINIB 2MG TABLETS, essential pharmaceutical products, to be supplied by Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited. This contract, valued at £270,000, commenced on 21st May 2026 and will be in effect until 31st March 2028. The contract aligns with the legal basis stipulated under the 2023 UK legislation. Being a direct award, this procurement was facilitated due to the absence of competition for these patent-protected medicines critical for patient care. The procurement falls under the industry category of pharmaceuticals and is situated in the United Kingdom, specifically serving the Northern Ireland region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for pharmaceutical suppliers capable of meeting rigorous compliance needs, particularly those dealing with specialised or patented products. Large-scale pharmaceutical companies with the capacity to manage exclusive distribution rights and intellectual property issues are ideally suited to compete in this market. The contract underscores the need for businesses engaged in pharmaceuticals to be well-prepared for direct negotiations with public authority entities like the health trust, especially when dealing with life-critical medicines that have limited availability.
