Benefits of Managed Services Cost Review services provided by Public Efficiency Partners
Managed service contracts are some of the largest IT costs for many organisations, yet they are rarely reviewed in detail once signed. We compare what you pay with what you receive and with the market, then help you secure better terms.
Fair pricing: Charges are tested against market rates and the volumes you actually use.
Clear scope: Overlaps, gaps and services you no longer need are identified and removed.
Better performance: Service levels and credits are strengthened so suppliers are held to account.

We break down charges, volumes and indexation clauses to show where the money goes.

Performance Review
We check delivery against service levels and identify unclaimed service credits.

We prepare the evidence and support you through negotiation with the supplier.
Why choose Public Efficiency Partners for your Managed Services Cost Review needs?
We understand both how managed services are delivered and how they are priced. That lets us challenge suppliers on detail and secure savings without putting services at risk.
Common
Challenges
Long-running managed service contracts create particular cost pressures. Common challenges include:
Annual Price Rises
Indexation clauses push costs up every year regardless of service quality.
Paying for Unused Scope
Services and volumes in the contract no longer match what you use.
Weak Service Levels
Targets are too loose to hold the supplier to account.
Unclaimed Credits
Service credits are due but never claimed.
Supplier Lock-In
Dependence on one provider weakens your negotiating position.
Limited Visibility
Invoices are too complex to check properly.
