Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured a DocuSign electronic signature solution for its operations. The requirement is for software and information systems, covering the supply of an electronic signing platform rather than physical goods, construction or consultancy services. Delivery is associated with the East of England, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is categorised as goods. The solution is intended to support electronic signing of documents and related administrative processes. This is a technology procurement for software providers, authorised resellers, digital workflow specialists and businesses able to supply and support DocuSign or an equivalent electronic signature solution for a local authority environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 December 2025 to SCG Corporate Ltd. The award value is £39,676. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 1 October 2025 at 11:00. The contract period runs from 9 February 2026 to 8 February 2028. The award is active, and the supplier is identified as SCG Corporate Ltd. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded evaluation basis is the procurement route and framework call-off; detailed quality or price weightings are not set out in the available process information.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for an electronic signature solution delivered through a framework call-off. It is particularly relevant to software suppliers, DocuSign specialists, framework providers and technology businesses with experience supporting public-sector document workflows. A credible future supplier would need to provide a dependable electronic signing service, integrate it into council processes and support users across a local authority. Experience with information systems procurement, secure document handling, implementation, service support and public-sector governance would strengthen a competing offer. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller technology businesses with the relevant product capability and delivery capacity could be well placed to compete when comparable demand returns.
