Sampling of Influent for the Presence of SARS-CoV-2
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the sampling of influent at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). Following the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) expressed a desire in October 2020 to intensify the sampling of all WWTPs to a daily frequency. In the interest of public health, a sampling program has been established to enable the RIVM to analyze samples for the presence of SARS-CoV-2. These activities will be carried out at the contracting authority's WWTPs, but will be financed by the RIVM. The sampling must be conducted in accordance with the most recent version of NEN 6600-1 and the RIVM's sampling protocol (Appendix 7). The contracting authority currently has an agreement for the sampling of influent for the presence of SARS-CoV-2. The contracting authority intends to enter into a new framework agreement with one (1) supplier to meet the ongoing need for sampling. This initiative underscores the critical role of wastewater surveillance in monitoring public health trends and managing infectious disease outbreaks.
