Ongoing Retainers

Keep the platform current. Reserve engineering when you need it.

ORM separates platform continuity from engineering capacity. Retain the platform to stay aligned with the latest ORM release, retain engineering hours for ongoing bespoke work, or use both where your operation requires continuous development.

Platform Retainer

Keep your ORM deployment current.

Typically 10% of the initial project value annually

Retained deployments remain aligned with the latest applicable version of ORM's shared platform configuration.

Applicable shared platform updates
Automated security updates
Compatibility, performance and reliability improvements
Access to newly released ORM platform capabilities
Implementation-only pricing for eligible existing capabilities

The Platform Retainer does not include reserved developer hours. New capabilities still require deployment-specific implementation, but retained clients do not pay to fund the underlying development of eligible capabilities that ORM has already built.

Reserved capacity

Engineering Retainer

Reserve ongoing engineering capacity.

Currently £60 per retained hour

Designed for businesses requiring routine deployment changes, bespoke modifications, integrations or continued technical input.

Reserved monthly engineering hours
Routine deployment and workflow changes
Bespoke modifications and third-party integrations
Implementation of existing ORM capabilities
Technical investigation and agreed consultancy

Material new features are scoped separately. Where retained engineering hours are applicable to that work, they are credited against the scope so the same engineering capacity is not charged twice. Rates reflect current engineering demand and capacity, remain fixed for the agreed retainer period, and may change at future renewal periods.

New-client rate: £40 per retained hour for the first three months, before moving to ORM's prevailing retained engineering rate.

Flexible Engagement

Choose neither, either, or both.

The Platform Retainer keeps the software current. The Engineering Retainer keeps finite engineering capacity available for your business. They solve different problems and can be held independently or together.

Neither Ad hoc future work

Platform Current ORM platform access

Engineering Reserved engineering capacity

Both Current platform + reserved capacity

Without a Platform Retainer, future updates and capabilities remain available as separately scoped work. Without an Engineering Retainer, client-specific engineering remains subject to ORM's availability and prevailing commercial terms.
