Valence Dynamics finds the gaps in your IT spend, quantifies them, and closes them. Our fee is tied entirely to what we deliver.
It happens quietly, across multiple line items, in patterns that internal teams rarely have the commercial expertise or bandwidth to catch.
None of this happens because people are careless. It happens because the vendors on the other side of the table are counting on it.
Every figure comes from a named, current industry report. We use the same data to size the recoverable opportunity inside your business.
For our core work, we operate on a gain share basis — 20% of verified savings against an agreed baseline on your actual invoices. Every figure is independently checkable. A CFO can verify the entire engagement in under ten minutes.
We map your entire technology estate — contracts, renewal dates, licence counts, cloud commitments — against what the business actually consumes. Every gap is identified and quantified before we recommend anything.
We do the work: negotiating with vendors, restructuring cloud commitments, rationalising licence estates, and consolidating where it makes commercial sense. We act as your commercial representative, not just an adviser.
Savings are measured on your actual invoices against the agreed baseline. Once the engagement closes, so does our invoice. No retainers, no tail fees, no billing for work we did last year.
The IT Spend Audit fee is credited in full against your first Performance Partnership payment if you proceed. Beyond the gain share model, we offer a range of fixed-scope services where pricing is agreed and confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Every engagement follows the same structured path. Nothing is assumed, nothing is vague, and no work begins without a signed engagement letter from both parties.
A free 30-minute conversation. We want to understand your technology spend, your renewal pressures, and where you think the gaps are. You will leave with a clear view of whether we can help and what that would look like.
If there is a fit, we issue a written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline, and confirmed pricing. You see exactly what you are getting before you commit to anything.
Once the proposal is agreed, both parties sign an engagement letter covering scope, fees, payment terms, confidentiality, and IP ownership. This is the point at which the engagement formally begins.
Work proceeds against the scope and milestones in the engagement letter. Any change to scope requires written agreement from both parties before it takes effect.
On Performance Partnership engagements, every saving is verified on your actual invoices before fees are raised. A written summary is issued on close. The engagement ends cleanly — no retainers, no perpetual billing.
Most clients start with a diagnostic. All prices below are indicative — final scope and fee are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Our core engagement. We identify savings across your entire technology estate and implement them — vendor renegotiation, cloud restructuring, licence rationalisation, and consolidation where it makes commercial sense. Every saving verified on your actual invoices. The engagement closes cleanly when the work is done.
A complete review of your technology spend across software, cloud, hardware, and services. Contracts mapped, renewal dates identified, licence counts checked against actual consumption. Output is a written report with every recoverable pound quantified and a prioritised action plan.
Structured FinOps discipline applied to your AWS, Azure, or multi-cloud environment every month. Spend review, waste identification, reserved instance strategy, and variance reporting against budget. A senior practitioner actively managing your cloud cost without the overhead of a permanent hire.
A complete technology procurement framework built for your organisation: policies, approval structures, vendor evaluation criteria, contract standards, and renewal governance. Everything documented, everything yours to run independently when we are done. No retainer required.
Commercial rigour built into your annual technology budget before it is set. Properly categorised, mapped to your renewal calendar, and benchmarked against current market rates. The output is a budget your team can defend at board level and repeat independently in future years.
A two to three year sourcing roadmap for your technology estate. Each category assessed for vendor dependency, concentration risk, and consolidation opportunity. Turns disconnected purchasing decisions into a managed portfolio with a forward commercial plan your IT Director or CPO can actually use.
Commercial and technical structure for organisations acquiring AI and cloud capability without a coherent plan.
