Notice Title
COVID-19 Wastewater Biostatistical Analysis and Reporting of Prevalence Data
Notice Description
The Scottish Government is placing a contract with an external service provider for the provision of COVID-19 Wastewater Biostatistical Analysis and Reporting of Prevalence Data.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Data from wastewater testing has been used in Scotland to complement existing case testing, to confirm case trends or provide an alternative means of surveillance as it is a COVID-19 indicator that is independent of healthcare-seeking behaviours and access to clinical testing. Wastewater Monitoring is an important alternative source of SARS-CoV-2 data in the absence of mass community testing. Wastewater samples are building a picture of SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in Scotland. Ongoing biostatistical support is required to analyse levels of COVID-19 RNA in wastewater from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), refine analytical methodology and explain wastewater findings. This information is used as an independent resource to further understand national and local prevalence levels and support outbreak response decisions.
