Typical for us is a 1 year contract for access to all services for a given institution.

Could you explain why it's not about billing to the contracted instance of a service? I don't think I've seen a case yet that wasn't really about that at the root. Organizations sometimes contract for multiple instances of a service, which is where tying contracts to any kind of organizational ID ends up breaking.

(For example, university departments here often buy the same service individually, but they all use our single IdP, so it's one entityID.)
