Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of 14,000,000 GBP 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. The estimated value over the maximum 4 year Framework Agreement term is 55,000,000 GBP. This is approximate only. Lot Lot 1: Ultrasound Gels Ultrasound Gel is a conductive medium designed to be applied to a patient's unbroken skin surface to provide a coupling between an analytical device (e.g., ultrasound transducer, optical glucose monitoring system) and the patient, allowing for the emission and reception of signals (e.g., ultrasound, light) that pass through the skin during an examination. It is in the form of a non-sticky, fluid-like gel that may also assists the operator's ability to move the analytical device smoothly over the skin to better analyse the site of interest. It may be used by a healthcare professional or layperson. After application, this device cannot be reused. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £650,000 in the first year for Lot 1 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. Lot Lot 2: Adult ECG Electrodes Adult ECG Electrodes are a non-invasive electrical conductor designed to conduct electrical signals, generated by a patient's heart, from the skin surface to an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring device, via an ECG lead wire (not included).
