Procurement professionals armed with data, on the deals that matter
Procurement Experts prepare and advise on renewals, included with every plan. When a deal calls for a negotiator, Managed Negotiation is there as an add-on.
Benchmarks aren’t always enough to move a vendor
Knowing you're overpaying is the easy part. Getting the vendor to move is the hard part, and most teams do it alone — against sellers who negotiate these contracts every day.
Two ways to put our experts to work
Most of the time you need preparation and advice. Sometimes you need someone to take the deal over.
Procurement Experts — Prepare & Advise
Tactical support on any deal you're working: what you're overpaying for, what to push on, what to ask for, and what a good outcome looks like.
Managed Negotiation — Execute & Close
We become an extension of your team and run the negotiation from strategy through signed agreement. Everything the Procurement Experts do, plus an experienced negotiator.
What you get on every renewal, at no extra cost
Procurement Experts are available on every plan, any deal. Support is flexible, and what we produce depends on what your deal needs.
Pricing benchmarks
We benchmark your contracts against real spend data and flag the vendors where your pricing or terms are likely out of market.
Contract review
A second set of eyes on the paper before you sign — the terms that quietly cost you later, and the ones worth trading for.
Redundancy and consolidation analysis
Duplicate tools, overlapping functionality, and consolidation opportunities you can act on before the next renewal.
Vendor comparison and alternatives
Credible alternatives to your incumbent, with ballpark pricing, so you know what your leverage actually looks like.
Procurement tactics and sourcing guidance
Recommendations on buying approach, timing, and negotiation tactics for the specific vendor in front of you.
License optimization
Unused licenses and right-sizing opportunities that lower your number before you negotiate (usage data required).

When a deal is worth handing off
There are two ways in, and both end the same way: a dedicated negotiator carries the deal to a signed agreement.
Hand it over at scope confirmation
Once your team knows what you need, we take the full negotiation from there.
Hand over the last mile
You negotiate to the vendor's best and final, then we take over to pull out the final concessions.
We build the strategy on bespoke research — proprietary intelligence on your specific vendor, deeper than any standard benchmark.
A dedicated negotiator takes full ownership of vendor communications, on the terms and push level you set.
We optimize commercial terms: pricing, payment terms, renewal language, caps, true-ups, and flexibility.
We manage renewal timelines and milestones, then coordinate closeout through execution.
Others sell you data. We provide experts.
SpendHound's platform gives you the data. Our experts help you act on it, and they come with every plan.

Your questions, answered
Who owns the vendor relationship?
You do. We negotiate on your behalf and at your direction — including how hard you want us to push — and every decision stays with your team. Preserving your vendor relationships is part of the job.
What's included and what costs extra?
Procurement Experts are included with every SpendHound plan, on every deal. Managed Negotiation is an optional add-on priced on the savings it creates.
How does the success fee work?
We're paid out of the savings we generate — we only win when you do. Volume-based discounting applies as you bring more deals to us.
Can we choose when to hand a deal over?
Yes. Hand it over once your team confirms scope and we run the whole negotiation, or negotiate to the vendor's best and final yourself and hand us the last mile.
Do you negotiate outside of SaaS and AI?
Yes. Managed Negotiation covers vendor categories beyond software and AI spend.
What do Procurement Experts actually do on a typical renewal?
Benchmark your contract, flag pricing or terms that look out of market, review the agreement, surface alternatives with ballpark pricing, and give you market insights on that vendor.
