What Every Package Includes

Core capabilities that come as standard across all tiers — no tiered-off basics.

UK-Based Helpdesk

All support handled by UK-based engineers. No offshore call centres, no scripted first-line. You speak to the people doing the work.

📈

Proactive Monitoring

Servers, endpoints and networks monitored 24/7 with automated alerting. Issues are identified and investigated before they become outages.

🔒

Endpoint Security

Managed antivirus, patch management and endpoint protection. Professional and Enterprise tiers add EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response).

Cloud Management

Microsoft 365, Azure and cloud platforms managed, licenced and security-hardened by Vertex9 — including user provisioning and access policies.

💾

Backup & Recovery

Managed backup with tested recovery procedures. You'll have documented RTO and RPO targets and know exactly what happens in a crisis.

📋

Compliance Support

Cyber Essentials guidance, GDPR-aligned data handling, and industry-specific compliance support included in Professional and Enterprise.

What Affects Your Monthly Cost?

Five factors determine your managed IT pricing:

  1. User count — the primary driver. More users = more support demand and licence costs.
  2. Number of sites — multi-site environments require more network management and on-site engineer time.
  3. Regulatory requirements — FCA, NHS DSPT, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 work adds specialist scope.
  4. Infrastructure complexity — cloud-only environments are simpler to manage than hybrid on-prem/cloud setups.
  5. Required SLA — tighter response guarantees (1hr vs 4hr) increase the cost of the underlying support resource.

Managed IT vs Break-Fix

Break-fix IT (pay per incident when something breaks) sounds cheaper. Over a full year, it rarely is.

Factor Managed IT (Vertex9) Break-Fix
Monthly cost predictability✓ Fixed monthly✗ Unpredictable
24/7 proactive monitoring✓ Included✗ None
Issue prevention (not just reaction)✓ Proactive✗ Reactive only
Cybersecurity included✓ Yes✗ Extra cost
Compliance support✓ Included✗ Not provided
IT strategy & roadmapping✓ Quarterly reviews✗ None

Pricing FAQs

UK managed IT pricing typically ranges from £25 to £75 per user per month depending on scope, user count and complexity. Vertex9 packages start at £28/user/month. For a detailed market breakdown, read our 2026 cost guide.
Essentials is available on a rolling 30-day contract. Professional and Enterprise are typically 12-month agreements, which allows us to invest properly in onboarding and deliver more competitive per-user pricing. Longer terms (24 and 36 months) attract further discounts.
No. Hardware — laptops, servers, networking equipment, peripherals — is not included in the monthly per-user fee. Where hardware refresh or new equipment is required, Vertex9 provides costed options as part of the scoping process. We can procure on your behalf or advise on what to purchase directly.
Yes. User counts can be adjusted with 30 days' notice. If your team grows or reduces, your monthly bill adjusts accordingly. There are no penalties for reasonable scaling within the agreed contract framework.
A one-time onboarding fee may apply for complex environments or where significant remediation work is required upfront. This is always disclosed in your written proposal before you commit — never added after signing. Simple, healthy environments may have no onboarding fee.
For most SMEs (under ~200 staff), yes — significantly. A mid-level IT manager in London costs £45,000–£65,000 in salary alone, before benefits, training, absence cover and the gaps in their specialism. Managed IT gives you an entire team of certified specialists — across cybersecurity, cloud, networking and compliance — for a predictable monthly cost.
