Fewer tools. Better ones.
Vendor evaluation, negotiation and onboarding that match the right platforms to real business need. Watch vendors pass through the gates: fit, security and value. Only one comes out the other side.
Tool sprawl is expensive and invisible.
Software spend grows one subscription at a time. Nobody owns the total.
Overlapping tools
Several products doing the same job in different teams.
Paying for shelfware
Licences bought and never used, renewed automatically.
Weak contracts
Terms that favour the vendor on price rises, exit and data.
Security unknowns
Tools adopted without security or privacy review.
Integration surprises
Platforms that don’t connect to what you already run.
Feature-led buying
Decisions driven by demos instead of requirements.
Decide what matters. Watch the ranking change.
Every evaluation starts by agreeing weights before anyone sees a demo. Move the sliders; the recommendation updates. Vendors are anonymised examples.
Vendor A
0Lowest price, lighter security posture.
Vendor B
0Strongest security and scale, higher cost.
Vendor C
0Best fit and support, mid-range price.
Six overlapping tools. One platform.
We map every tool against the job it does, find the overlaps, and consolidate onto fewer, better platforms, renegotiating as we go.
fewer licences · one contract
Where value is won in the contract.
Volume, term and timing

Evaluation & selection
Weighted scorecards, scripted demos and reference checks.
Commercial negotiation
Price, terms, exits and service levels.
Licence rationalisation
Consolidation and renegotiation across the estate.
Onboarding & adoption
Implementation support so the platform is actually used.
Example engagements.
Illustrative scenarios, not past clients.
Software spend review
Forty subscriptions reduced to a smaller set, with renegotiated terms on the rest.
Patient system selection
A structured evaluation with clinical, security and integration criteria agreed up front.
Post-deal consolidation
Two companies’ tools merged onto shared platforms within a year.
Compliant procurement support
Requirements and evaluation designed to meet procurement rules and stand up to scrutiny.
Procurement, answered plainly.
Are you paid by vendors?
No. Our advice is vendor-neutral, and we do not take referral fees from the vendors we evaluate.
Can you help with public procurement rules?
Yes. We design requirements and evaluation to meet the procurement rules that apply to you.
Do you only help with buying?
No. We also rationalise what you already have and support onboarding so platforms are adopted.
What does a spend review involve?
An inventory of tools and contracts, usage analysis, overlap mapping, and a plan to consolidate and renegotiate.
How is procurement support priced?
A fixed fee for evaluation and negotiation, or a share of verified savings, agreed before work begins.
How long does it take?
A licence review takes three to five weeks. A full evaluation and negotiation typically takes two to four months, depending on your procurement rules.
What do you need from us?
Contracts, renewal dates and usage data for current tools, plus the people who will use the chosen platforms.
