The value is easy to show, which helps the rate conversation: savings against the previous contract and the risks removed. Say which categories you know, such as IT, logistics or professional services. Confidentiality runs both ways, so do not share price benchmarks from your employer's contracts; build them from public sources and the company's own data.
