We have provided a fee analysis to our clients for several years. As we complete vendor searches, we see and understand the pricing. This leads us back to existing clients, where we can go to their existing vendors and let them know prices are changing. Consequently, fees can be negotiated without a full-scale Request for Proposal (“RFP”).
Over the past several years, we have done full-scale RFPs 1-3 times per year. However, given the industry consolidation, we are negotiating fees regularly. For example, we negotiated the fees for clients without the need for a full-scale RFP. Using a scaled-down version of a full RFP, we can solicit fee quotes and “check the market.” If it looks like there is a good reason to move, we will initiate a full-scale RFP.
