Reporting to ECDC Specific tasks (ST) in Lot 3- EQA for  L .  mo n o c y t oge n e s Scope and objectives  • Summarise the activities during the contract period (see DL10). • Provide expert advice to ECDC on ad‐hoc basis in the remit of  the EQA.  • In addition, the EQA results should be summarised in a Power Point presentation made  available to ECDC (see DL9). ECDC can request the contractor to make the results available  and to present to the FWD Network at the general annual meeting (maxim one day once  a year). Possible travel costs, accommodation, per-diem will be covered by ECDC outside  this contract;  • Draft a comprehensive EQA report per scheme, including the pseudonymised results of all  participating laboratories to be sent to ECDC using ECDC’s template (Annex X) (see DL8);  • Provide an electronic database with the raw EQA results available to ECDC (see DL7);  • As part of the EQA results, also collect information on the methods and materials used by  the participants, as well as on the availability of and the requirement and/or obligation to  participate in national EQA schemes for FWDs (type of EQA and pathogens included,  mandatory, voluntary, etc.), and participation in international EQA schemes for FWDs (type  of EQA, pathogens included) (see DL7); • Send the packages in a secure manner with the safety instructions on how to handle the  EQA samples to the participating laboratories (see DL3).  • Collect, compile the data, analyse the results and provide individual evaluation feedback  report of the results to each participating laboratory (see DL4). The report should include  the individual results from the participating laboratory in the country, conclusion on the  performance and when needed, recommendations for improvements and troubleshooting  advice. If needed, assist the laboratories not able to achieve acceptable level of  performance in the EQA exercise by providing troubleshooting services and advice. A  copy of the national feedback report should be provided to ECDC;  • Prepare and distribute ECDC certificates to the participating laboratories, using the ECDC  template (Annex IX) (see DL5). Upon approval of ECDC, a certificate of participation should  be issued if the laboratory has returned all results within the given time frame;  • In collaboration with ECDC, conduct a participant feedback survey on corrective measures  and practical use of EQA results among EQA the participants following the ECDC’s  guidelines and using the EU survey tool (see DL 6).  specimens, the protocols, safety and storage instructions, and detailed information about  routines for reporting the results (see DL3);  17
