Outsourcing negotiation is the renegotiation of system-integrator, managed-service, and BPO contracts — scope, service levels, rate cards, and benchmarking clauses — mid-term or at renewal.
Why it matters: Multi-year service contracts drift: rate cards age, scope creeps, and SLAs stop reflecting the business. Resetting them recovers margin without changing provider.
