Perhaps setting a service contract with 2 levels providers might work? It is a 
rathr standard way to operate. Customer(s) buy a support or service contract 
and there is one provider offering migration while one offers technical 
support. 

Do  not forget that the Document Foundation encourages certification for 
migration providers, something we are setting up.

Best,

Charles.
