IT sourcing and procurement services
Too many IT suppliers, licences you no longer use and contracts that quietly auto-renew? LANIX sources your hardware, software licensing and cloud subscriptions, manages vendors and renewals, and benchmarks what you pay, so you buy the right technology at the right price from one accountable partner. London and across the UK.
One partner, one bill, one point of accountability
Most organisations do not have a supplier problem, they have a too-many-suppliers problem. LANIX handles IT sourcing and procurement for businesses in London and across the UK — Microsoft 365 licensing, hardware, software, connectivity and support contracts — so you know exactly what you are paying for, what you can stop paying for, and who to call when it goes wrong.
LANIX consolidates your IT suppliers into one accountable partner and one clear bill.
You stop paying for what nobody uses
We audit every licence, contract and renewal date, then strip out the duplicates and unused seats quietly draining your budget each month.
One supplier relationship, not nine
Licences, devices, software, connectivity and support consolidated under LANIX — one point of contact, one bill, nobody to blame it on.
The right kit arrives ready to work
Devices sourced, configured, secured and delivered to the user, so new starters are productive on day one instead of waiting a fortnight.
What changes for your business
You know exactly what your IT costs
Every licence, contract, renewal and device cost in one place, in plain English, so budgeting stops being guesswork.
Wasted spend comes out
Unused seats, duplicate tools and over-specified licences are removed, and what remains is bought at the right level.
No more supplier finger-pointing
When something breaks you call LANIX. We deal with the vendors, the warranties and the escalations on your behalf.
Renewals stop catching you out
Contract end dates are tracked and reviewed before they auto-renew, so you negotiate from a position of choice.
New starters are equipped in days
Standard device builds, stock planning and configuration ready to go, instead of an ad-hoc order every time someone joins.
Buying decisions link to business priorities
Purchases are sequenced against your roadmap, risks and growth plans — not whichever supplier called most recently.
What clients say about their LANIX supplier consolidation
UK organisations use LANIX to consolidate IT suppliers, cut wasted licence spend and bring hardware, software and support procurement under one accountable partner.
“We were paying for 40 more Microsoft licences than we had staff. LANIX found it in the first week and the saving covered their fee for the year.”
“Nine IT suppliers became one. I get a single invoice now, and when something breaks I stop having to work out whose fault it is.”
“New starters used to wait two weeks for a laptop. LANIX standardised the builds and now they are set up and secure on day one.”
How LANIX manages your IT sourcing and procurement
Supplier and spend audit
- We list every IT supplier, contract, licence and renewal date you currently hold.
- We show you what overlaps, what nobody uses and what you are over-paying for.
- You get a plain-English picture of your true IT spend before anyone signs anything.
What we source: software licensing, renewals and cloud subscriptions
- Right-sized Microsoft 365, Azure and other cloud subscriptions matched to how each team actually works.
- Software licensing and renewals handled for you, with seats reclaimed from leavers and unused add-ons removed.
- Third-party software reviewed for duplication so you buy one tool, not three.
Hardware sourcing and device provisioning
- Laptops, desktops, servers, network kit and peripherals sourced at trade pricing.
- Standard builds configured, secured and enrolled before they reach the user.
- Delivered to the office or straight to a home worker, ready to use out of the box.
Procurement support: vendor management and cost benchmarking
- Vendor management: one point of contact for every supplier, with contracts reviewed against what you actually receive.
- Cost benchmarking against current trade pricing, and negotiation with vendors on your behalf using our buying position.
- Licensing compliance checks, plus impartial software procurement guidance when you are choosing new tools.
- Exit and transition planning where a supplier is no longer earning their keep.
Ongoing procurement management
- A live asset and licence register kept up to date as people and kit come and go.
- Renewal dates tracked and reviewed well before they auto-renew.
- Regular spend reviews with LANIX so procurement follows your roadmap, not the calendar.
- Works hand in hand with LANIX managed IT support, so every device and licence we buy is already known to your support desk.

Where IT Sourcing & Procurement fits into the bigger picture
Procurement rarely gets fixed on its own. Organisations in London and across the UK usually tackle it alongside their Microsoft 365 licensing, the phone and connectivity contracts sitting next to it, and the hardware refresh cycle it has to fund.

FAQs
We source hardware (laptops, desktops, servers and network kit), software licensing and renewals, and cloud subscriptions such as Microsoft 365 and Azure. We handle quotes, ordering, configuration, delivery and the paperwork, so you deal with one partner instead of several resellers.
Yes, as advisers rather than a software vendor. We help UK businesses work out whether they need dedicated procurement or asset-management software, compare options against how you actually buy, and set up licence and renewal tracking, often inside tools you already own.
If LANIX also provides your managed IT support, procurement is joined up with it: our support team sees every device and licence we buy, new starters get kit that is already enrolled and secured, and renewals are reviewed as part of your regular service meetings.
It is the job of deciding what technology you need, choosing who to buy it from, agreeing the price and terms, and then keeping track of what you own and what it costs. Most organisations do this reactively — a laptop here, a licence there — which is how you end up with too many suppliers and no clear view of spend. LANIX takes that job on properly.
It varies, but the common wins are unused Microsoft 365 seats, duplicate software doing the same job, support contracts covering kit you no longer own and connectivity you are over-paying for. We regularly find 10-25% of IT spend is either wasted or badly priced. We show you the numbers before you commit to changing anything.
No. Some clients hand procurement to us entirely because it is simpler; others keep certain suppliers and use us for the rest. What matters is that someone has the full picture. We will tell you honestly where an existing supplier is doing a good job and should be kept.
We reconcile your licence count against your actual staff list, reclaim seats from leavers, and check whether people on premium plans need the features they are paying for. We also look for add-ons you are buying separately that your existing plan already includes, which is one of the most common overspends we see.
Yes. Multi-site organisations benefit most, because that is where duplication hides — separate suppliers per office, different device standards and contracts nobody centrally owns. We standardise across sites while allowing for genuine local differences.
We agree standard device builds for each type of role, then source, configure, secure and enrol the machine before it ships. It can go to your office or directly to a home worker. The user signs in and is productive straight away, with your security policies already applied.
We arrange secure collection, data wiping with certification, and responsible disposal or recycling in line with WEEE requirements. Where equipment still has resale value, that can be offset against the replacement. Nothing leaves your building with your data still on it.
