The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the Eolas App for Microbiologists, a license management software package aimed at enhancing antimicrobial stewardship in Rotherham and Barnsley hospitals. This procurement falls under the services category and was executed through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The initial contract period started on 1st June 2025 and will conclude on 31st May 2028, with the award to Eolas Medical Ltd valued at £18,900. This procurement stage is marked as completed with the contract awarded on 7th January 2026.
