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.
