This leverage allows them to negotiate favorable pricing and service terms.  For example, Elior's 91.2% customer retention rate as of September 2024 highlights the stickiness of these relationships, driven by the complexity and disruption involved in switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice sensitivity is also a key factor, especially in budget-conscious sectors like education and public administration, where cost-effectiveness is paramount.  The prevalence of competitive tenders in 2024, often emphasizing sharp pricing, forces Elior to balance affordability with profitability.
