### Lot Information

Lot 1

As part of the NIHR Global Effort on COVID-19 (GECO); to mitigate health impacts of COVID-19 in low/middle-income countries, the University has been working with the Ministry of Health in Uganda to develop a track and trace mobile application. The mobile app is tailored to haulage drivers; to reduce potential bottlenecks in supply chains caused by mandatory border COVID-19 testing. A successful track and trace system should reduce the requirement for drivers to wait at borders for 14-26 hours, reducing the risk of delays to the supply of goods and medicines.

### Procurement Information

This project involves access and transmission of health data related to COVID-19 and integration of IT systems; which Bodastage are able to do in conjunction with the Ugandan Ministry of Health and the Haulage network Union of Uganda.
