The tender titled "NP68921 Thermometer Probe Covers (Hillrom)" pertains to the healthcare industry and is currently in the Award stage. The contract, valued at £495,000, was signed on 31st March 2022, and it involves the supply of single-use disposable thermometer probe covers for specific Welch Allyn/Hillrom thermometers.
