Even though vendor risk is low, buyers face limited leverage when negotiating rates or service packages. To mitigate this, procurement teams should consider multi-vendor sourcing strategies, benchmark pricing across competitors, and structure performance-based contracts to ensure value for money without compromising service quality.
