## Summary

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust has completed a procurement process for the direct award of a contract to supply Etanercept (Enbrel) via homecare services. With a focus on pharmaceutical goods, this tender is located in Antrim, United Kingdom, under the industry's goods category. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase, with the contract being effective from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2029. The contract was awarded to SCIENSUS PHARMA SERVICES LIMITED, reflecting a single-supplier approach based on exclusive rights and the necessity for continuity of patient care. The total contract value is £840,000, with a focus on adhering to Northern Irish devolved regulations and UK central government standards.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the pharmaceutical sector, particularly those involved with highly specialised medicines and homecare delivery systems. Companies with the capability to supply specialised drugs under patent protection would find this contract advantageous, as it exemplifies niche market opportunities where competition may be limited due to intellectual property constraints. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions to foster patient care in home settings are well-suited to similar procurement opportunities in the health and social care sector.

These essential medicines are required from this supplier to ensure continuity of patient care, specifically for homecare support. The absence of competition is not the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
