“National and regional screening programmes represent an important upside for us, and this award is a true confirmation of our product’s competitiveness in these large international tenders.”
Initially, the tender is valid for a duration of three years, starting next year. It also has an option to be extended for a further two years.
The award of the tender is subject to a testing period to verify and validate the product during the first half of next year.
Once the final award contract is in place, the first order from the tender is expected around the middle of the same year.
