Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme Limited has completed a procurement process for the provision of an electronic signature certification service, titled "eSignature." This process falls under the services category within the industry classification of electronic signature certification services (CPV 79132100). The contract, awarded as part of a single tender action below the threshold, involved a direct procurement method and was valued at £86,020. The buying organisation, located in London, sought services to be delivered in England. The contract period commenced on 24 July 2025 and will conclude on 23 July 2027, with the award being published on 29 October 2025. The tender, which reached the award stage, does not specifically target SMEs or VCSE organisations.

This procurement opportunity represents a potential growth avenue for large-scale organisations that specialise in electronic signature services. The contract's nature and location suggest that businesses with expertise in delivering electronic signature certification services within the United Kingdom could find this opportunity highly beneficial. The choice of a direct procurement method indicates that vendors with pre-established, strong industry reputations, like the awarded supplier DocuSign International (EMEA) Limited, are well-suited to meet such requirements. Businesses looking to enhance their presence within the UK’s public sector by offering tailored and efficient electronic certification solutions could benefit from similar procurement opportunities.
