The model starts with 5 quotes per AE per day, multiplied by an 8-working-hour wait for primary supplier responses—a conservative figure that avoids worst-case timings. The baseline hourly rate is GBP 12.71, reflecting typical AE cost assumptions for MSPs serving education. The result is an indicative weekly cost that highlights where supplier procurement friction may be draining resources in your Halifax operation.
