Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured DocuSign licences to support its ICPC process. This is a business software and electronic-signature requirement, covering access to DocuSign licences rather than consultancy, implementation works or general IT services. The associated service category is electronic signature certification services. The buyer is The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, based on Wilmslow Road in Manchester, and the requirement supports its internal NHS trust operations. Businesses relevant to this type of work include providers, resellers and licensing specialists able to supply DocuSign products and support their use for formal electronic signing and certification processes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BYTES SOFTWARE SERVICES LTD. The contract was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 28 May 2026 and runs from 28 May 2026 to 27 May 2027. Its value is £19,769.99 excluding VAT, or £23,723.99 including VAT. The award covers one lot for DocuSign licences, supplied by BYTES SOFTWARE SERVICES LTD. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The procurement concerns services and was completed without a competitive tender, so there was no bid evaluation against competing price or quality submissions.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement at The Christie for enterprise electronic-signature licensing to support an internal ICPC process. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply DocuSign licences or have an established route to provide them, understand licence administration and renewal, and support reliable use of electronic signatures in a regulated NHS environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to be software resellers, licensing partners or specialist digital-signature providers with the capacity to manage an organisational account and maintain service continuity. Experience supporting healthcare or other public-sector customers, handling formal approvals and protecting sensitive information would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
