Just because you can not do it does not mean it is an out of the ordinary request that needs to be handled by a consultancy.

I received some good feedback after this thread and going through the various replies.
In general it is not easy though as most companies deal only with standard applications to keep the costs low as their techstaff will be cheaper. Even the more expensive companies such as rackspace said they could not handle it, we simply don't have the time ourself as we wish to keep focus on growing and development rather than maintaining
Resellers can actually be a very good choice from my experience as long as it is not a 1 man operation or ref code referrals as they can keep their focus strictly on sales and technical staff without needing to maintain the infrastructure themself.
