Renewal Advisory helps UK companies review SaaS and software renewals before they sign, challenging price increases, unused licences, weak terms and avoidable cost with a clear commercial negotiation strategy.
SaaS and software renewals are often approved under time pressure, with limited usage data, unclear ownership and little commercial challenge. Vendors know the deadline is close, switching feels difficult and internal teams are busy. The result is higher pricing, unused licences, weak terms and contracts that no longer reflect what the business actually needs.
Vendor uplifts are often presented as standard or unavoidable. If they are not challenged before approval, the increase becomes the new baseline for future years.
Licences, seats or modules can quietly remain in the renewal even when usage has dropped, teams have changed or the business no longer needs the full scope.
Auto-renewals, notice periods, uplift clauses and weak exit terms can lock the business into higher costs and reduce negotiation leverage later.
A focused commercial review of your SaaS or software renewal before signature.
We review the current agreement, renewal proposal, pricing movement, licence model and key commercial risks.
We test the proposal against usage, licence need, budget, contract scope and negotiation leverage.
We prepare the negotiation position, vendor challenge points and recommended counterproposal.
Designed for CFOs, founders, IT leaders and finance teams who need a sharper commercial view before committing to software spend.
Share the current agreement, vendor proposal, pricing, invoices, usage data and renewal deadline.
Receive a concise commercial view of risks, savings opportunities and negotiation angles.
Use the negotiation pack to challenge the vendor and protect budget before the renewal is approved.
Renewal Advisory is built for software-heavy companies that need procurement-level challenge without hiring a full-time software procurement specialist.
The spend may not fall below last year, but the business avoids an unnecessary increase before signing.
The annual cost is reduced through licence removal, scope correction, better pricing or commercial renegotiation.
Every renewal is different. Fees are scoped after a short review of the vendor, annual renewal value, timeline, licence complexity and level of support required.
