Notice Title

TPOXX(r) Antiviral Treatment (Tecovirimat)

Notice Description

The monkeypox virus belongs to a family of viruses called orthopox viruses and the drug Tecovirimat is an antiviral designed specifically to treat viral infections of this kind. In the current outbreak, Tecovirimat has been successfully used to treat patients with the most severe presentations of monkeypox virus infection. This contract is for a small supply of TPOXX(r) Antiviral Treatment (Tecovirimat) for the treatment of severe cases of Monkeypox in the UK. Information on contract value is being withheld due to commercial sensitivity under Regulation 50(6)(b) and (c) as the publication of the price may enable competitors to calculate the price per dose.
