Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office (NAO) has successfully completed a public procurement process for the "DocuSign service contract 2026/2031," awarded to DocuSign UK Limited. This process falls under the Information Technology Services industry category. The procurement, conducted through a limited competitive quotation method suitable for contracts below the threshold, is valued at £15,000. The contract involves providing DocuSign licenses over a five-year period, from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2031, with the delivery location specified as the United Kingdom. This award stage was confirmed on 20th May 2026, marking the conclusion of a tender process initiated by the buyer, the NAO, based in London, England.

This awarding of the contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the technology and digital services sector, particularly those specialising in electronic signature and document management solutions. Given the nature of the tender and the procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly well-positioned to either directly engage or collaborate in similar future opportunities. Businesses that provide competitive offers for government digital infrastructure have the potential for growth through such government contracts.
