IT Procurement & Vendor Selection
We run IT procurement the way a good finance team would — RFPs, benchmarks, contracts and renewal calendars — without the bias of a reseller.
Common situations
we are called in for.
- You suspect you are paying over the odds on licensing or hardware.
- A major contract is up for renewal and needs proper challenge.
- You need help comparing three vendors that all sound the same.
- You want a procurement function without hiring one full time.
Three phases.
No surprises.
Baseline
A full inventory of contracts, licences, renewal dates and unit costs across your IT estate.
Source
Structured RFPs to a shortlist of suitable vendors, scored against your requirements and our market benchmarks.
Negotiate
We negotiate price, terms, SLAs and exit clauses — and document everything so it survives the next change of supplier.
Tangible
deliverables.
Every engagement ships documents, decisions and outcomes — not just hours. The exact list is agreed up front.
- 01Contract and licence register
- 02Vendor shortlist with scored evaluation
- 03Negotiated commercials & redlined contracts
- 04Total-cost-of-ownership model
- 0512-month renewal calendar
You probably
wanted to ask.
Do you take commission from vendors?+
No. We are paid by you, never by the vendors we evaluate. That is the entire point.
Can you run a single negotiation rather than a full review?+
Yes — many clients first engage us to challenge a specific renewal, then ask us to look at the rest.
