Fwd: SaaS contract renewal 2026/27 — 6 emails
Your note
Read the whole thread. We've been on this platform 3 years (~£48k/yr). They want a 22% price hike. Counter at 8% max. Warm but firm. Hint we're comparing options without naming them.

Draft ready — Re: Contract Renewal 2026/27
Suggested reply · Review before sending
"Hi Sarah — we've really valued the partnership over the past three years and are keen to continue. That said, a 22% increase takes this outside our budget. We're reviewing tooling spend broadly right now. Could we work toward something closer to 8%? Happy to jump on a call."
