UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has procured an electronic signature service for signing council documents. The requirement is for DocuSign’s e-signature service, rather than a broader IT consultancy or software development project. The service supports the council’s electronic signing needs. Delivery is in the Sheffield area, within the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sheffield City Council awarded the service to DocuSign through a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2028. Its value is £47,092.50 excluding VAT (£56,511 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded, consistent with the non-competitive route.

This award shows demand from Sheffield City Council for a hosted electronic-signature service to support council document signing. A credible competitor for a future version of this requirement would need to provide a reliable signing platform suitable for public-sector documents and able to support the council’s operational use. DocuSign’s selection demonstrates that an established e-signature provider can meet this need. Suppliers whose offer is limited to general IT consultancy, software development or unrelated digital services are less closely aligned with the requirement. The route used here was a direct award without competition, so the award does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation or of specific technical, accreditation or capacity thresholds.
