## Summary

Southern Health and Social Care Trust is procuring bimekizumab solution for injection, described in the requirement as a solution for infusion. This is a pharmaceutical product supply for the Trust, rather than a broader clinical or homecare service. The recorded delivery location is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. The procurement is classified as goods and the product is categorised as a pharmaceutical product (CPV 33600000). The named buyer is Southern Health and Social Care Trust, based in Portadown, Northern Ireland. The requirement is for supply over a three-year contract period, serving the Trust’s need for this medicine.

The procurement is complete and the Trust selected Healthnet Homecare (UK) Limited for the single lot. The award is recorded as pending. The Trust used a direct award, citing the statutory provisions for specific direct award cases and a single-supplier justification based on exclusive rights. The estimated award value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. The award notice was published on 23 October 2026. The contract period runs from 11 November 2026 to 10 October 2029, with signature scheduled for 11 November 2026. The requirement was described as supply of bimekizumab solution for infusion for three years. The recorded evaluation basis is the single-supplier justification; no separate scoring criteria are set out.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future demand, this award indicates a requirement for the supply of bimekizumab in injectable or infusion solution form, rather than general pharmaceutical distribution or unrelated clinical services. A credible competitor would need the ability to source and supply this specific medicine reliably to a health and social care trust, and to support delivery across the stated United Kingdom location. The direct-award rationale was tied to a single-supplier justification based on exclusive rights, so a future competitor’s position would depend on being able to demonstrate a legitimate supply route and relevant rights, as well as dependable fulfilment. The selected supplier is a large homecare company, indicating that the requirement was placed with an established supplier. This is evidence of demand for this product from Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
