Annual AED maintenance contract renewal is a natural moment to genuinely review your supplier relationship, rather than automatically renewing without a second look.
Has Response Time Actually Matched What Was Promised?
Review whether your provider's actual response times over the past year matched contract commitments, not just what was promised at signing.
Is Documentation Genuinely Complete?
Check that you've received clear, dated records for every visit over the past year — gaps in documentation are worth raising directly at renewal time.
Has Your Organization's Needs Changed?
New locations, headcount changes, or expanded operations may mean your coverage needs have shifted since the contract was last set — renewal is the moment to adjust.
Compare Pricing Honestly, Not Just Automatically Accept an Increase
Ask directly why any price increase is proposed, and confirm it reflects genuine added value, not just an automatic annual markup.
Ask About What's Changed on Their Side Too
New equipment options, updated best practices, or changed staff — a good supplier should be transparent about what's evolved in their own service over the past year.
