Commercial assurance built on expertise, delivered through technology
GovernTerms was founded to address a persistent problem in public sector procurement: organisations were losing significant sums through overpayments, missed entitlements, poor contract management and most of it was going undetected.
Our mission
To give NHS trusts, local authorities and public sector organisations the commercial expertise and technology they need to recover what has been lost, protect current expenditure, and prevent future financial leakage.
What we do
We combine specialist commercial assurance consultancy with PayRight, our technology-assisted contract and invoice analysis platform, to deliver a complete commercial assurance capability. Our consultants have worked across NHS trusts, local authorities and central government. We understand the regulatory environment, the procurement frameworks and the commercial pressures public sector organisations face.
How we work
Expert-led
Technology accelerates our work, it does not replace professional judgement. Every finding is reviewed and validated by our specialists before it reaches you.
Evidence-based
We present findings with supporting evidence. No speculation, no padding, just a clear, prioritised report with the documentation to act on it.
Outcome-focused
Our engagements are structured around measurable outcomes recovered funds, corrected pricing, improved governance, not open-ended retainers.
Public sector focused
We work exclusively with NHS and public sector organisations. That focus means we understand the context, the constraints and the obligations our clients operate under.
Work with us
Start with a no-obligation commercial review. We will assess your contracts, invoices and supplier arrangements and tell you honestly where the financial exposure lies.
