IT procurement services pricing
You don’t pay unless we save you money (we guarantee it)
Many procurement services ask you to pay upfront. They may not help you with IT cost reduction after taking your payment. You don’t pay us for IT contract negotiation until we get you better pricing or terms.
Pricing that works the way you do
We offer two flexible pricing models based on your IT budget and procurement needs.
Zero-Risk Starter Plan
If we don’t save you money or improve your contract terms, you don’t pay.
(It’s as simple as that).

Frequently asked questions
Most of our new clients prefer our no-risk contingency model (the Starter Plan) so they can experience how we work with their internal teams and external partners. We recommend “getting to know each other,” as no company has the same IT procurement strategy. Over time, our clients prefer to move from an ad-hoc model to a managed services model (the Growth Plan).
The main difference between the two models is that the Starter Plan is ad-hoc (we are here when you need us), and in the Growth Plan we become part of your IT procurement team (formal engagement).
No. You don’t need to meet a minimum spend requirement. We can help you optimize any size contract—from a $5K SaaS purchase to a very large IT service contract.
Once your team has determined the best price from your vendor, simply send us your contract. We will calculate your cost savings based on the total contract value before and after we get involved in your IT contract negotiation. We will make the process as straightforward as possible for your IT procurement.
Most procurement service experts require a fee upfront. Then, they may—or may not—deliver cost savings. When you partner with 3Quotes, you don’t need to take on this risk and only pay us for contract negotiation services after we find you savings.
We have two compensation models:
- A contingency or success-based fee structure (the Starter Plan). Simply send us a baseline quote, and we’ll try to improve your pricing or commercial terms. If we provide IT cost reductions, you’ll pay us a share based on your successful outcomes. If we can’t improve your pricing or terms, you owe us nothing.
- A retainer model (the Growth Plan). Save money on your IT sourcing while capping our fees and making predictable OPEX payments. We will work with you to develop a payment plan that improves your forecasting and optimizes your IT spending.
Once your team has determined the best price from your vendor, simply send us your contract. We will calculate your cost savings based on the total contract value before and after we get involved in your IT contract negotiation. The process is black and white with no blurred lines or “gotchas.”
We can provide you with IT cost reductions across every area of your IT spending. Here is a list of the areas where we help clients save an average of 20%:
- ITAM licensing for all Tier 1 and 2 software, hardware, and services
- Enterprise software (including ERP, CRM, HRMS, and SaaS solutions)
- Cloud (including AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, and Google Cloud)
- Telco (including networking, telephony, co-location, disaster recovery, LAN/WAN, wireless, and upgrading telephony from on-prem to the cloud)
