A clear analysis process with minimal effort for your team.
From the first alignment to the management summary, we take on the bulk of the work. You get a transparent process, clear results, and keep full freedom of decision at every stage. We treat your contract and pricing data as a trade secret. We provide a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on request.
Five steps to a sound basis for decision-making.
Our analysis process is clearly structured and tailored to everyday clinical operations. We analyse your service contracts systematically, compare them against our benchmark database and derive concrete recommendations for action, traceable, transparent and with minimal effort for your team.
Before any contract data is handed over, we conclude a data processing agreement and agree a secure transfer method with you. After your go-ahead you receive, in around 10 working days, a sound assessment of your service contracts, without demanding internal project work.
We assess your contracts against technical, commercial and contractual criteria and compare them with our benchmark database.
You receive clear recommendations for action. Together we discuss the results and answer any open questions.
Based on the analysis, you decide how to proceed. On request, we support you in the negotiations with the manufacturers.
No contract change is made without your explicit consent. You decide on every step, we support you through implementation.
Your data is protected from the very start.
You entrust us with sensitive contracts. Here's how we protect them:
-
01 Processed in the EU
No transfer to third countries.
-
02 Data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR)
Agreed for every project.
-
03 ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Access strictly on a need-to-know basis.
-
04 Encrypted
Transmission and storage, securely arranged.
-
05 Deletion afterwards
After project completion, in writing on request.
Certified quality (ISO 9001:2015) and information security (ISO/IEC 27001:2022). Your contract data is handled to independently audited standards.
More cost-efficiency, without compromising care.
A hospital with around 500 beds had its service contracts assessed against our benchmark database of more than 5,500 analysed contracts. The analysis revealed that individual contract terms were well above market level. The result: the service contract was successfully optimised, with an unchanged scope of service, unchanged system availability and no restrictions on patient care. Sound data instead of guesswork, that's exactly what Contract Cost Care stands for.

| Cost category | Manufacturer contracts | Final outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost p.a. | €5,090,000 | €4,320,000 |
| Total cost (5 years) | €25,450,000 | €21,600,000 |
| Savings vs. manufacturer | €0 | −€3,850,000 |
| Additional economic effect* | — | −€410,000 |
| Economic impact (5 yrs) | €4,260,000 |
*Further economic effects arise from the optimised contract structure.
For the project start, we need just two things.
To start your analysis quickly, all we need is a fixed point of contact and the relevant service contracts. We take on the bulk of the work, keeping your internal effort to a minimum.
A central contact
A dedicated contact makes coordination easier, speeds up approvals and keeps the project running smoothly.
Your service contracts
You provide us with the relevant contract documents. We then take on the structured analysis and assessment of your contracts.
You decide how far we go with you.
Our analysis provides the basis for well-founded decisions. What happens next is up to you: from an initial recommendation for action to full support throughout the negotiations.
Clear recommendations for action
We show you which contract components are economically critical, where optimisation potential lies and which measures promise the greatest benefit.
Solid target prices
We don't just point out optimisation potential, we define a solid target price based on our benchmark data. This gives you a well-founded basis of argument for your negotiations.
Support through to implementation
On request, we support you through to the successful conclusion of the negotiations, taking on much of the operational coordination.
The biggest lever comes before signing
Service costs can be influenced long-term as early as the procurement of new medical technology. That's why we look not only at the system price, but also at the scope of service, contract terms, pricing mechanisms and actual need.
Analysis fee with added value
If you decide on joint implementation after the analysis, the analysis fee is credited in full towards the agreed remuneration.
Want to know whether an analysis is worth it?
Every hospital has different conditions. That's why every collaboration begins with a no-obligation conversation. Together we check whether an analysis of your service contracts offers real added value, transparent, independent and with no commitments.
