How to aproach larger companies that will only work with you if you sell them the platform

Thanks for accepting me in your community. I have spent two months reading The Pricing Roadmap book and watching Ulrik´s videos to improve my company aproach on pricing. We have a lot to work and learn and is super exciting to carry on this project. I have, however a much pressing question. We provide a monitoring and control saas service for mining, water utilities and energy companies and we also install and mantain our monitoring instruments. We deal with much bigger than us, cupper mining companies and pulp companies, among others. They frequently pick their suppliers on biddings and lately some of the biddings require we sell the platform to them because they want complete control on their data. Related to this, some big energy intensive companys have told us, no, we cannot work with you because all our data must remain within the house for security resons. So, I was thinking.. A "job to be done" would be ...I want others to develop my platform but I want to run it withouth the data going out. If we develop, and deliver an entire platform for each of this requests. How are we suposse to charge? and more important.. should we do it? Could we answer in other way with out losing this opportunities? If you could guide me in this, I would really aprecciate it. Kind Regards and excuse grammar english mistakes.
