All joking aside, any time I've been in a similar situation I always try to take the professional magnanimous role. No real sense twisting the knife. Thank them for their x years of excellent service they've provided and just let them know that as your organizational needs have changed as a company you've chosen to bring the I.T. services in house or some such nonsense. If you are switching vendors you can say that the other is a better fit or will better foster growth or some other corporate bs. Unless you are hell bent on making a show of "you're fired" I'd just try to be the "it's not you it's me" guy.
