Hello,
There are a few options here if you do not wish to cancel the Savings Plan. It is recommended that Savings Plans are held in the management account to allow member accounts to be able to fully utilize the plans. Savings Plans can not be transferred between Organizations directly. AWS Support can assist with determining if an exception can be made to transfer the current Savings Plans from the management account to a member account or from a member account to the management account within a single Organization with an AWS Support Case.
If Organization (A) is going to be fully moved under Organization (B), AWS Support can also assist with making a determination if an exception can be made with an open AWS Support Case from the current management account for Organization (A) with the details including Organization (B) and requested the Savings Plans to be transferred.
I hope this answers you question for how to migrate a Savings Plan between two Organizations.

@AWS-User-melfij - Can you confirm where you obtained this information? We have raised the question with our AWS Technical Account Manager. He explained that is not the case. We would need to CANCEL the Savings Plan and repurchase. Thanks
@rePost-User-0529671 - It appears your AWS Technical Account Manager is referring to a process used normally for cancelling and exchanging Savings Plans or Reserved Instances at the same or higher amount. This would not work in your case in any way as it does not transfer the Savings Plan or Reserved Instances from the current AWS account.
As your and your team desire to keep the current Savings Plans and are using AWS Organizations, it is possible to use AWS Support to transfer the Savings Plans between accounts that are within the same organization. For any Savings Plan to be transferred, the accounts MUST be in the same organization. You can see this accepted Re:Post answer which provides additional clarification on the transfer of a Savings Plan from one account to another: https://repost.aws/questions/QUQabLrEJvSGiYpdqpa2pMzw/transfer-ec-2-and-savings-plan-from-one-aws-account-to-another
Please be aware that this process takes time and changing where Savings Plans are in use will alter how your bill will be charged. If you have additional questions, you can always reach out directly to an AWS concierge specialist through AWS Support to through your TAM for engagement.
