## Summary

Cheshire East Council procured an electronic signature software subscription for its public-sector operations. The requirement was DocuSign eSignature Enterprise Pro Edition, providing capacity for 4,800 envelopes over a one-year subscription. This is a software and information-systems requirement, rather than implementation, consultancy or physical equipment. Delivery and use relate to Cheshire East, with the council based in Crewe. The procurement was intended to support the council’s electronic signing and document workflow needs through an established enterprise e-signature platform. Businesses relevant to this requirement include software publishers, authorised platform resellers, public-sector technology suppliers and firms able to provide enterprise e-signature subscriptions with substantial transaction capacity.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Cheshire East Council used a limited procedure, making a direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework without publishing a call for competition. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 for £28,704. The selected supplier is Southern Communications Corporate Solutions Limited. The requirement was evaluated on price, and one bid was recorded. The procurement contained one lot for the DocuSign eSignature Enterprise Pro Edition one-year subscription and 4,800 envelopes; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Cheshire East Council for enterprise electronic-signature capacity delivered through a public-sector technology framework. A credible future competitor would need to supply, resell or support a recognised enterprise e-signature platform, with sufficient capacity for thousands of document transactions and the operational reliability expected by a local authority. Experience with public-sector procurement routes, particularly G-Cloud, would be commercially relevant because the council used that framework for the direct award. Suppliers should also be able to offer clear subscription pricing, straightforward account or licence administration, secure digital document workflows and dependable customer support. Larger technology providers and authorised resellers are especially well placed, as the awarded supplier was classified as a large organisation.
