Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council procured a contract lifecycle management system for managing its contracts and related procurement activity. The requirement covers a contract database using Atamis, a tendering module with training, spend analysis, DocuSign for electronic contract signing, and integration with intake forms. It is software and information-systems provision, intended to support the Council’s end-to-end contract management processes. The procurement was arranged through the CCS G Cloud 14 route. The contracting authority is Cheshire East Council, based in Crewe. The selected supplier, Atamis Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in the platform being implemented. The requirement therefore combines software licensing or provision with implementation-related configuration, user enablement and integration capability.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to Atamis Ltd. The route was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as an award through G Cloud 14 and outside the relevant directive’s scope. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 for £183,125 including the stated contract value. Its term started on 10 August 2026 and runs for three years, with an optional 12-month extension, giving a potential end date of 9 August 2030. Evaluation was based on price. The procurement lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the published outcome identifies Atamis Ltd as the appointed supplier.

This requirement indicates demand from Cheshire East Council for a mature contract lifecycle platform that can bring contract records, tendering, spend visibility, electronic signatures and intake workflows into one operating environment. A credible future competitor would need a proven contract database and the ability to provide tendering functionality, training, spend analysis, DocuSign or equivalent signing integration, and connections to intake or form systems. Suppliers should be able to support public-sector contract management processes and demonstrate reliable implementation of several connected modules rather than a standalone software product. The award to an SME focused on Atamis shows that specialist platform expertise can be relevant, alongside the capacity to configure the system, train users and support additional modules or increased user licences when required.
