Ian Benn and Jill Pearcy offer advice on the best ways to negotiate your strategic outsourcing deal.

Give and take - Part 2 | Part 1| Part 3

Phil Morris, a main board director at outsourcing expert Morgan Chambers, describes negotiation as: “The process of getting your original objectives from a deal.” Morris advises companies to negotiate on the issues of service, quality, financial objectives and people.

Morris also recommends a very structured approach. Agreeing large-scale outsourcing contracts can take between six and nine months, so you really need to appoint a dedicated, specialist contract-negotiation team.
