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.
The indicative estimate uses a working assumption of five quotes per account executive per day, combined with a conservative eight-working-hour average supplier wait. This approach deliberately avoids worst-case timing scenarios while still giving MSP leaders a practical number to inform procurement conversations.
Education procurement often means aligning multiple supplier timelines that may not match your own. Each hour spent chasing a quote is time not spent on account growth or client relationships.
