Depends on the area of expertise and how you buy that expertise.
Many contractors are really installers, and are great at bootstrapping a product or service. But... they know little or nothing about the actual running of the thing they setup. They don't get how to integrate their product's magic with your ITSM system, or what metrics to monitor, etc.
On the developer side, I've seen more than my share of consultants who are high-priests of whatever methodology/language/framework religion they preach, but have a hard time delivering value.
