The challenge
Small contracts on auto-renewal are usually where the worst value hides, precisely because they are too small to have attracted anyone’s attention.
How it works
We build the contract register first — what you buy, from whom, at what price, and when each renews. On most portfolios that register does not currently exist in one place, and assembling it is where the early savings show up.
Spend is then benchmarked against market rates and the categories ranked by opportunity. Utilities, FM and cleaning almost always repay attention first; insurance and waste are frequently mispriced.
Where you want it run rather than advised on, we write the specification, issue the ITT, score the submissions, negotiate and support the award — then structure the contract and SLA so the savings survive year two.

Why RESI Consultancy
[Tailor this section — who uses it, and what changed as a result.]
We have sat on the other side of this work. The people delivering it have run the buildings, written the budgets and defended the numbers to owners — which is a different starting point from a framework and a benchmark.
We take no introduction fee or commission from any operator or vendor, and we do not bid for the work we advise on. Any interest that could be perceived as a conflict is declared in writing before an engagement begins.
Outcomes
A contract register that exists
What you buy, from whom, at what price, and when it renews — usually for the first time in one place.
Benchmarked spend
Categories ranked by opportunity, so effort goes where the money is.
Savings that survive year two
Contracts and SLAs structured so the price does not quietly drift back.
Common questions
Asked often enough to answer here.
Which categories are worth tendering first?
Utilities, FM and cleaning almost always repay the effort, because they are large, recurring and rarely benchmarked. Insurance and waste are frequently mispriced. Small contracts on auto-renewal are usually where the worst value hides, precisely because they are too small to have attracted anyone’s attention.

Most people arrive with a scheme that is not performing, an operator they cannot read, or a board paper due Friday. Any of those is a fine place to start. Thirty minutes, no proposal attached.
