2-Programme Name: PROGRAMME (SOUTH24 PGS)

MajorFocus Area: of sputum from pickup Centre and transport.
Geographic coverage(Nameof District):SOUTH24PGS
TargetPopulation/Primary beneficiaries: Population Who Are 4s Symptomatic
DonorName: Welfare Samity

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVE :

i. Early Transportation ofsputum Sample.
ii. Early Treatment initiation.
iii. Free diagnostic service and Sample transportation.
iv.Ensure DBTSensitization of TB patients.

SCOPE OF WORK:

scope of work will include physical pick-up, transportation and delivery of biological samples along with required documents and reporting outlined by CMOH-SPG. The transportation of samples for TB testing requires cool temperature while transportation, timely delivery at right place and maintaining correct identification of samples while taking adequate biosafety precautions. While picking up samples, it must be ensured that the samples were packaged and stored in an appropriate manner before pick-up. Samples are usually collected from presumptive TB cases- by ASHA in the community at the rate of 3 per ASHA per month and deposited at either• Su-swasthyakendra (HWC) or nearest PHC by CHOs or ANMs when such cases come to HWC / Sub-centers• At any Health establishment (public or private).• Samples collected at community levels are pulmonary ones, whereas samples at any health institutions may be Pulmonary or extra-pulmonary. From presumptive TB cases two samples are collected. These samples must be taken to nearest Microscopy or NAAT center for diagnosing TB. If a positive result is obtained from the 1st sample, the 2nd sample is reflexly sent to another lab for further tests to know the drug resistance patterns. Hence some samples are transported from one Microscopy center to another Health institution for NAAT testing. For LPA, Liquid culture and other tests some samples must be transported from Health institutions to Intermediate Reference Laboratory(IRL)at Beleghata, Kolkata. It is important that the transfer occurs at the earliest possible time to get desired results and patients can be started on appropriate medicines. Usually, two follow up sputum tests are done by Microscopy for Microbiologically confirmed cases during treatment. Number of samples collected for presumptive TB cases is two and that for Follow up is one..GEOGRAPHIC COVERGE AREA (NAME OF DISTRICT) SOUTH 24 PGS, WE MAINLY WORK FROM BLOCK LEVEL.

Contract Rate for the Agency Our Agency shall be working as a Private Partner for Pickup &Transportation of Biological Samples for the assigned geography of the district of South 24 Parganas, WB as per the terms of the contract and will be charging at the rate:

Performance Security Within twenty-one (21) days of the receipt of Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from the Procurement Entity, the Agency, shall furnish the Performance Security equivalent to 3% of contract value for 1 st year. Amount of performance security to be paid by the Agency for cluster -1&2 is as follows-
A) Role of Agency
1. Recruit adequate personnel (Sample transporters) preferably possessing two-wheelers, having smart (Android) mobile phones and residing within the cluster. Transporters who will cover shorter distance (as in municipalities) may travel by bicycle. They should be qualified enough to be able to maintain records and report as per needs of program.
2. A retainer fee must be paid to transporters to prevent attrition and thus preventing wastage of time in training, retraining, planning and replanning.
3. Undergo training on sample transportation and adhere to NTEP guidelines.
4. Transport specimen from identified pick-up centres (either in public or private health facilities or from communitySu-Swasthyakendra, Panchayat HQ sub-centres) to the linked TB laboratory as per NTEP guidelines.
5. Samples must reach the lab within 24 hours of collection from patient. For samples to be deposited in far off labs like IRL or other blocks and due to some unforeseen reasons cannot be transported within 24 hours, it is preferable to pick up sample from pick-up points and deposit to a nearest TB lab for refrigeration if required. In the latter case, sample must reach the destination (IRL, distant lab) within 48 hours. However, this delay can be allowed for 2% samples only.
6. Samples collected from patients up to 12 Noon must be picked up and transported on the same day. Samples collected after 12 Noon may be picked up the next morning and deposited to the lab before 12 Noon. However, as far as practicable samples collected after 12 Noon may also be deposited to Lab on the same day.
7. Each pick-up point must be visited by Transporter at least twice a week on two different days. However, during course of activity, it will be seen that few centers may have to be visited more than twice a week. Note that even if a pick-up point is visited more than once on a single day, it will be counted only once for payment purposes. Agencies will be supplied with transportation boxes as per specifications by NTEP. Agency must ensure cool chain transfer of samples.
9. Maintain specimen transportation record and get it signed every day at pick up points and laboratory (drop-off points). One signatory of the day should be a representative of NTEP.
10. Ensure that sample is labelled, packed properly and annexure 15 A is filled before picking up sample.
11. One or two locations may be fixed in each cluster, from where samples picked up from all areas of the cluster may converge for onward transmission to IRL. Visit to IRL from each cluster may be twice or thrice in a week, depending on sample load and collection times. Even if there are visits to IRL, transporters must be deployed in such a way that visits to pick-up points are not compromised (ie at least twice a week on different days).
12. Plan routes of each Transporter in such a way that the shortest route is covered, and all collection points are covered at least two to three times per week on different days. More must be covered if needed. Take help from NTEP staff to develop a robust plan.
