IT is the floor and stays first. The other seven arrive with their own supplier lists, their own contract vocabulary, and their own order of tools, because a freight buyer and a licensing manager do not open the same door first.

The discount curve library is a software library. Facilities, travel, MRO and logistics are not sold off a published list, so there is no curve to place your deal on and we do not invent one. What the desk brings to those categories is the part that does travel: the paper read clause by clause, the supplier set, the sourcing motion from requirement to award, and an agent that drafts what you send.
Professional services and HR sit in between. A consulting rate card and a payroll agreement are negotiated once and then live for years, so the leverage sits in the scope and the renewal terms rather than in the headline rate.
All eight are on every plan. Start with one contract and see what the desk makes of it.
