Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited procured document-signing software and associated services. The requirement is for a software package supporting business transactions and document signing, rather than a wider software or consultancy programme. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Docusign International EMEA Limited, a large supplier based in Bristol. This purchase indicates demand for a business document-signing solution from a housing organisation; suppliers in this market should focus on the software and associated services needed to support that specific function.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been signed. Midland Heart used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. There was one lot. The contract was awarded to Docusign International EMEA Limited on 26 October 2026. Its value is £122,273.80 excluding VAT (£146,728.56 including VAT). The contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 26 October 2029. The published procurement information does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria; the award was made through the non-competitive route. The contract is active.

For suppliers competing for this buyer’s future requirement, the relevant capability is business document-signing software, together with the associated services needed to support its use. A credible alternative would need to meet Midland Heart’s operational needs for signing documents electronically and support business transactions, while demonstrating that its service can be delivered at an organisational scale. The award to an established, large software provider shows that the buyer selected a specialist supplier for this focused requirement through a direct, non-competitive route. Suppliers should be prepared to explain the practical fit of their signing platform and the services around it for a housing organisation, rather than relying on broad software credentials alone.
