Education procurement cycles move fast. When a supplier takes a working day to return a connectivity or service quote, your account executive burns paid hours waiting. Over 5 working days that delay compounds. Our calculator uses a realistic 8-working-hour supplier wait, not worst-case horror stories, to give your leadership team a calm, evidence-led baseline for process improvement.
The calculator multiplies 5 quotes per AE per day by an 8-working-hour average supplier wait. It then converts that delay into a GBP figure using GBP 12.71 per hour. The result is a conservative annual estimate of avoidable workload that your account executives currently absorb. No live supplier quote is displayed here—the detailed, supplier-backed quote is available inside your free Edunet MSP account.
Sheffield’s mix of maintained schools and academy trusts means varied procurement demands. If your MSP is serving primaries, secondaries or MATs across the city, consistent supplier delays can slow down every deal. Reducing average quote time from 8 hours to even 4 hours halves the workload cost, freeing account executives to focus on winning more education contracts.
Often it is manual pricing processes or slow supplier systems. Education procurement can involve complex configurations, and if a supplier relies on offline checks, an account executive might wait a full working day for a simple connectivity or VoIP quote.
It gives a conservative cost estimate of quote delays per AE, not a precise audit. MSP owners can then spot internal process gaps and compare supplier responsiveness without chasing individual quotes.
