Repeat 3rd Party Vendors (PCA/ESA)

Fellow members of REPE teams... Has anyone had real success implementing a programmatic relationship for 3rd party reports (PCA/ESA) for your DD at a National level? Some lenders do limit the pool, but if given the choice is there one reputable firm you'd fully commit to for all transactions?

My role focuses on acquisitions, and have been getting frustrated handholding asset managers and analysts to keep diligence costs in check, running lengthy bidding processes and pushing back on engineers to keep future capital needs in the realm of reality. The ideal programmatic vendor relationship remains elusive, either due to deliverables, cost (especially when aggregating multiple relatively small transactions), or speed of execution.

Would appreciate any thoughts/experiences attempting to minimize bleeding money, and more Importantly time, closing your deals.

Also for anyone running into similar issues shoot me a PM. Happy to discuss concrete details on what I am seeing for pricing, timing, and issues I've run into with various vendors.
