Notice Title

DESTINE study

Notice Description

WHO pre-qualified rapid diagnostic test for Hepatitis C virus, OraQuick. Total of 5,000 tests plus shipment to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Lot Information

Lot 1

We require 5,000 rapid diagnostic tests for diagnosing Hepatitis C infection for our research in Ethiopia. There are 6 such tests that are certified by the WHO. We previously had to buy other laboratory consumables for this research study and discovered that purchasing consumables for Ethiopian labs is difficult. They are unable to purchase from in-country. We have to buy the goods on their behalf and ship to Ethiopia. This requires a process of pre-certification via the Ethiopian customs, and certification before goods are shipped. We therefore require the services of a logistics company who are experienced in shipping to Ethiopia.

Procurement Information

The supplies and services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to protection of exclusive right, including intellectual property rights
