Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics bought a secure document-signing application for use in its public-sector operations. The requirement falls within software packages and information systems, covering the provision of electronic document-signing capability rather than physical goods or construction work. The buyer is a central government public authority based at Government Buildings, Cardiff Road, Newport. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single requirement, with the selected solution supplied by Docusign, an Ireland-based software provider. Businesses operating in secure digital signing, electronic signatures, document workflow or related information systems would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can support a public authority’s organisation-wide use of a signing platform.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. Docusign received the active award. The contract was signed on 27 April 2026 and runs from 28 April 2026 to 27 April 2027. Its value is £10,215.29 excluding VAT and £12,258.35 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies Docusign as the supplier selected for the secure document-signing software requirement. The award record does not state an award date or an evaluation weighting, so the outcome is presented through the supplier selection, contract terms and recorded procurement route.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement within the Office for National Statistics for secure document signing delivered as software. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable electronic signing application suitable for government use, with the capability to support secure completion and management of documents across the United Kingdom. Suppliers with established document-signing products, relevant information-systems experience and the operational capacity to support a central government organisation would be well placed. Docusign’s selection shows that the buyer accepted a specialist signing-platform provider for this requirement. Businesses in this market can use the procurement as a direct indicator of the buyer’s interest in secure digital document execution, rather than broader software or general information-technology services.
