SOVRA and Edilex partner, integrating tool for procurement

SOVRA, the public sector's source to contract platform, has partnered with Edilex to integrate Legalflo, its legal drafting and automation tool

SOVRA, the public sector’s source to contract platform, has partnered with Edilex to integrate Legalflo, its legal drafting and automation tool designed for public procurement, directly into the SOVRA platform.

This collaboration enables agencies across the US and Canada to manage procurement and contracts with built-in and real-time legal compliance, all in one streamlined system.

Today, public procurement teams face mounting pressure to move faster, stay compliant, and deliver better outcomes with limited resources. Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and evolving regulations, to tariff adjustments and shifting compliance standards, they need more than efficiency. They need peace of mind.


With this integration, agencies can draft compliant solicitations and contracts using pre-approved and continuously updated templates, all within the same platform they already use to manage sourcing and contracts. It empowers them to act quickly, stay compliant, and deliver better outcomes with confidence.

This integration unifies every step of the procurement process from intake to solicitation, evaluation, and contract execution embedding legal guardrails along the way.

The benefits for procurement professionals are:

  • Regulation-ready RFx and contracts using public-sector-specific templates
  • Real-time updates to clauses and templates from Edilex’s legal team
  • Built-in approval workflows for smoother collaboration
  • Clause libraries that support consistency and risk mitigation
  • Transparent audit trails for accountability and compliance
  • Peace of mind in volatile times, with automatic updates that keep documents compliant as regulations shift, including recent tariff changes

Edilex clients now access a full end-to-end solution beyond legal drafting. Within the SOVRA environment, they can:

  • Manage the full source-to-contract lifecycle in one system
  • Connect with over one million suppliers via North America’s largest public sector network
  • Ensure centralised records and full audit trails for every step
  • Collaborate faster across procurement and legal without switching tools

“This integration changes everything,” said Thierry Jaffry, Chief Growth Officer, SOVRA. “For the first time, procurement and legal are fully connected, in one platform, in real time, without barriers. It is a one-of-a-kind solution built for the realities of public agencies today: tighter budgets, higher stakes, and constant change. We are giving teams the power to move faster, stay compliant, and deliver results with total confidence.”

“Legalflo was built for public sector legal workflows,” added Gabriel Morency, Chief Executive Officer of Edilex. “Through this partnership, we are delivering real-time compliance, backed by our team of legal experts who proactively update every clause and template. During the recent tariff policy changes, for example, our clients stayed fully compliant without lifting a finger. That is the kind of assurance public procurement teams can rely on, no matter how fast things change.”
