I'll be honest - you guys need to find a new technology partner then. Creating a private cloud that's reliable and offers the basic services that the major providers have is not difficult in 2020. Some of the aaS stuff can get tricky but is still entirely do-able.
Regardless, if they found a way to make your infrastructure MORE expensive than the public clouds they either have no idea how to negotiate or are really, really bad at their jobs. The public cloud is a lot of things - but cheap isn't one of them.
