## About this tender

These test kits allow for field use in hospitals enabling the rapid on-site Point of Care (POC) testing for C-19 and have significant operational advantages over off-site Laboratory testing as they allow for virtually immediate test results without the delay of sending them to testing laboratories, thereby allowing for the safe reopening of vital services and reducing the economic damage being caused by the lockdown by allowing people to return to work confident in knowing that they are not carriers.

## CPV classification

Diagnostics and radiodiagnostic devices and supplies
