Pactis Partners negotiates high-value commercial agreements for businesses that do not have a professional negotiator on their side of the table. We review your contracts, prepare the position, and lead or shadow every round until the agreement is signed on better terms.
For organisations that buy
- Contract renewal and negotiation execution — at the table every round, through to signature.
- Contract and renewal portfolio diagnostics — renewal dates, auto-renewal traps, indexation and termination risk, prioritised by where negotiation will move money.
- Sourcing and competitive tenders — running the process so suppliers compete for your business.
- Fractional procurement leadership — senior procurement capability without a full-time hire.
- Vendor governance and cost-out programmes.
For firms that sell
We know what procurement will demand, where they hold leverage and what they will trade — because we have sat in that chair. Deal strategy for major sales, MSA and commercial-terms navigation, pricing and concession planning, and renewal defence.
Deal coaching
Prep-room support for leadership teams ahead of a specific negotiation: strategy, counterparty role-play, concession matrix and walk-away design, and live coaching between rounds.
Our record
Over £1m in verified savings delivered for clients across £10m of negotiated spend, in financial services, construction and property. Before founding the practice: more than £60m of annual category spend managed, and 20% cost reduction achieved on managed spend portfolios through negotiation. Client names are withheld as standard; references are available in conversation.
Questions we are asked
- What does a procurement consultant do?
- A procurement consultant helps a business buy better: reviewing supplier contracts, running competitive tenders, and negotiating price and terms with vendors. Pactis Partners focuses on the negotiation itself — preparing the position and leading or shadowing every round through to a signed agreement.
- How much can contract renegotiation save?
- It depends on the contract and your leverage. Across our engagements to date we have delivered over £1m of verified savings on around £10m of negotiated spend. We will tell you honestly, before any fee, whether a contract is worth negotiating.
- What is the free Renewal Teardown?
- Send us one supplier contract. Within 48 hours you receive a one-page findings note: what the agreement is really costing, where the traps sit — auto-renewal windows, indexation, termination terms — and what a negotiation would plausibly be worth. No fee, no obligation.
- Do you work on the sell side too?
- Yes. We have spent a career as the buyer, so firms bring us in when they are selling into procurement: deal strategy, MSA and commercial terms, pricing and concession planning, and renewal defence.
- How do you charge?
- Fixed fees, agreed before we start — no open-ended day rates. Where it aligns interests, part of our fee can be put at risk against verified savings.
- Where are you based?
- London. We work with clients across the UK and internationally, with particular capacity in New York, remotely or on site.
