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.
When MSPs in Wakefield wait on suppliers for education connectivity or cloud quotes, account executives lose time chasing updates rather than advising schools. Even an 8‑working-hour delay per quote can compound across a team. This tool provides a helpful starting point to quantify that drain, so you can decide whether supplier response times merit a review of your procurement process.
The calculator uses five quotes per account executive per day, a baseline hourly cost of £12.71, and a 5‑day working week. With an 8‑hour wait per quote, the indicative weekly cost per AE becomes visible. Please note the estimate is subject to supplier confirmation and is deliberately conservative—it does not reflect extreme delays or lost commercial opportunities.
Once you have the indicative number, you can benchmark it against your own client portfolio in Wakefield. The tool is designed to offer a clearer view of your options, not to prescribe immediate action. Review the figure alongside your own pipeline data to see where reducing supplier lag could free AE capacity for more strategic work with schools and trusts.
It multiplies assumed daily quotes per AE by an 8‑working‑hour supplier wait and an hourly cost of £12.71, then scales to a 5‑day week. The result is an indicative cost, indicative only or precise figure, and should be used for internal benchmarking only.
Yes. Live supplier-backed quotes for connectivity and other education services are available inside the free MSP account. The public page does not display live pricing, but MSP partners can access real quotes after sign‑up.
Start by using the calculator to estimate the indicative cost. Review which suppliers consistently keep your account executives waiting, and compare supplier response times against your own service‑level commitments to schools. Use the insight to inform procurement conversations, not to immediately switch suppliers.
