July 29, 2020 The two million rapid serological tests are available for all teaching and non-teaching staff of the school and family doctors and ASLs will administer the tests. Commissioner for emergency Domenico Arcuri said in the Chamber's culture committee, recalling that yesterday the tender was awarded after 59 bids had been received.   

"We trust that the campaign will end before the reopening scheduled between 1 and 14 September" he underlined that the tender had been banned on 9 July with the aim of subjecting as many teachers and non-teaching staff to tests in order to being able to resume insecurity lessons.

Arcuri, delivery deadline extended to 12/9
The deadline for the delivery of 3 million single-seater desks (traditional and innovative) for the safe recovery of schools has been extended to 12 September. This was announced by Commissioner for Emergency Domenico Arcuri in a hearing in the Culture Commission in the Chamber, recalling that the public and European race is still underway and stressing that "everything that was possible up to now has been done".   

Arcuri has reconstructed the very restrained timing available: on June 22, the CTS gave indications for the resumption of school to Minister Azzolina; 2 days later, the school owner sent the Commissioner the request to search the market for up to 3 million desks following the comparison with the principals and didactic directors on the real needs. The simplification decree, which contains the rule that allows the commissioner to proceed with the purchase, was then published in the Official Journal on 16 July and 4 days later the tender was announced. The announcement included the deadline for submitting applications on 30 July, the signing of the contract on 7 August and the delivery of counters on 31 August.

Terms now extended. "The tender is in progress - said Arcuri - August 5th is the deadline for submitting offers, August 12th is the deadline for signing the contract, September 8th is the deadline for starting delivery of the desks. until September 12 at the latest ", but in this case - they explain from the commissioner's office - there will be penalties.
