MONTREAL, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SOVRA, the public sector's leading source to contract platform, has partnered with Edilex to integrate Legalflo, its legal drafting and automation tool built for public procurement, directly into the SOVRA platform. This first-of-its-kind collaboration enables agencies across the U.S. and Canada to manage procurement and contracts with built-in and real-time legal compliance, all in one streamlined system.
Public procurement teams today face growing pressure to move faster, stay compliant, and deliver better outcomes with limited resources. In a climate of economic uncertainty and evolving regulations, from tariff adjustments to shifting compliance standards, they need more than efficiency. They need peace of mind. With this integration, agencies can draft compliant solicitations and contracts using preapproved 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.
Procurement and Legal Working as One
This integration unifies every step of the procurement process—from intake to solicitation, evaluation, and contract execution—embedding legal guardrails along the way.
Benefits for Procurement Professionals
- 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.

A Game-Changer for Public Procurement
"This integration changes everything," said Thierry Jaffry, Chief Growth Officer at 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," said Gabriel Morency, Chief Executive Officer at 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.
