Lot 2 - Thermometer Devices and Related Consumables
Lot 3 - Patient Weighing Scales and Measuring Devices

It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £23,900,000 to £25,000,000 in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement. Estimated value over the 2-year Framework Agreement will be in the region of £47,800,000. There will be an option to extend the Framework for a further 2 years.
