When a Darlington school or trust asks for a connectivity or ICT quote, waiting days for a supplier reply slows your entire sales cycle.

Indicative estimate only. Based on available public data, benchmark assumptions and information provided by the school. Final savings depend on current contracts, service requirements and supplier confirmation.
Five quotes a day, an 8-working-hour wait per supplier, and a baseline hourly cost of £12.71. That pattern adds up quickly across a week of education procurement work. It means less time for discovery calls, fewer trust conversations started, and a slower path to a binding contract. Edunet shortens the quote window and gives your account executives the pricing they need in hours, not working days.
The portal brings together multiple education suppliers under one dashboard. You log one request for a connectivity quote and receive a live, supplier-backed response inside your free Edunet account. There is no manual chasing, no spreadsheet of last-resort pricing, and no phone calls that go unanswered. It’s a procurement tool built specifically for the education market, so every quote is relevant to the schools and trusts you serve.
Schools compare providers. If your quote arrives late, you hand an advantage to a competitor. Using Edunet’s quote workflow, your team sends a consistent request and gets back pricing that’s ready to present. You’ll still shape the final proposal, but the procurement piece moves faster. For Darlington MSPs serving growing multi-academy trusts, that speed can be the difference between winning a contract and losing it to someone who replied first.
Open a free Edunet MSP account and submit one education connectivity request. The portal returns a live, supplier-backed quote inside your account, usually in hours rather than days. You are not dealing with individual supplier sales desks, so your AE can focus on building the customer relationship instead of chasing pricing.
No. Edunet is a procurement tool, not a replacement for your commercial agreements. You keep your current supplier partnerships and use the portal to get faster, comparable quotes for education opportunities. It adds a speed layer to your existing procurement process without disrupting the way you sell.
It is built for any UK MSP that serves education customers. Whether you are a small Darlington practice quoting a primary school or a national provider responding to a multi-academy trust, the portal is designed to cut the time your AEs spend waiting for supplier responses, allowing you to allocate more hours to high-value sales activity.
