Contract value recovery · UK
Find the value. Keep the value.
Most contract value is lost after signature. We find it, prove it against your invoices, and keep it recovered.
01 The problem
Value lost after signature
Value lost through poor contracting is put at almost 9% of annual revenue.
World Commerce & Contracting, 2025Most of it does not disappear at signature. It drains away quietly over the life of the contract, one invoice at a time.
-
A
Services you no longer use
Still on the invoice. Long since stopped in practice.
-
B
Licences nobody logs into
Assigned, renewed and paid for. Not used.
-
C
Credits and rebates never claimed
The contract gives them to you. Nobody asks for them.
-
D
Price rises above the contract cap
Annual uplifts applied above what was agreed.
