The Surplex UK Pricing Model
Turning your retired technology into a self-funding asset.
Surplex UK operates a Value-Offset Model. Because we specialise in Asset Value Recovery and Material Reclamation, we are able to fund the cost of nationwide logistics, secure data destruction, and legal compliance through the residual value of the hardware we process.
This self-funding framework allows us to provide a professional, audit-ready service at zero net cost to your organisation for standard requirements. We turn your retired technology into a resource that pays for its own secure and compliant retirement.
Our Three Pricing Scenarios:
-
Standard ITAD (Zero-Net-Cost): For most corporate refreshes, the hardware value completely covers the cost of GPS-tracked collection, certified data destruction, and WEEE compliance.
-
Low-Volume Collections: For smaller loads or assets with limited residual value, we provide a modest, transparent logistics fee upfront to maintain our high security standards.
-
Technical & Managed Projects: For complex decommissioning projects and long term partnerships, we provide transparent pricing that can be partially or fully offset by the value of your retired estate, managed via a dedicated SLA.
We will always review your inventory and confirm any costs with you upfront – no hidden fees, no surprises.

Master Your IT Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM). Ditch the manual spreadsheets, the Surplex UK Portal provides end-to-end visibility of your entire IT estate.
- Live Valuations: Automatically track the book value and depreciation of your assets and have an Audit-Ready Inventory.
- Compliance Automation: WEEE and data-destruction certificates are automatically filed to the correct serial numbers.
- Risk and Refresh Intelligence: Automatically monitor hardware health and assign risk levels based on warranty proximity, allowing you to renew coverage or dispose of assets before they fail.
- One-Click Disposal: Trigger a collection with one click directly from your dashboard.
- API-First Architecture: Integrate your real-time disposal data directly into your internal ITAM or ITSM ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions
Insights into our secure, sustainable, and value-led ITAD framework.
We have compiled answers to the most common inquiries regarding data security, the Circular Economy, and our Value-Offset pricing model. Our goal is to provide the transparency you need to manage your global, national, or distributed IT estate with total confidence.
Surplex UK operates a Value-Offset Model. Because we specialise in Asset Value Recovery and Material Reclamation, we fund the cost of nationwide logistics, secure data destruction, and legal compliance through the residual value of the hardware we process.
For standard corporate requirements, this results in a zero-net-cost service. For smaller collections or high-complexity managed projects, we provide transparent pricing that can be partially or fully offset by your hardware rebates. We always confirm any costs or rebates with you upfront.
