When your account executive waits for a supplier-backed quote, every hour eats into gross margin. This page helps MSP owners and commercial leaders in the York area get an indicative annual cost of quote-delay, without exposing any supplier name or claiming a live quote has already been returned.

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.
Education-sector procurement often involves multiple suppliers, each with their own response times. When a school requires a 1000Mbps annual connectivity quote, your account executive may lose half a day chasing status updates. Over a working week, that hidden admin cost erodes the profitability of every deal. This calculator helps you quantify the impact using a cautious 8‑hour wait, without exaggerating worst‑case scenarios.
For MSPs in York, the density of schools and academy trusts creates a steady pipeline of procurement opportunities. Yet every quote-delay that ties up an account executive reduces the time they can spend building relationships and closing new business. Our indicative cost calculator shows how quickly small delays add up, helping you decide whether to invest in faster quote access or adjust your team’s workload.
The calculation assumes an account executive handles 5 quotes per day, each delayed by an average of 8 working hours while the supplier responds. Using the supplied hourly baseline of £12.71, the per‑day cost of waiting becomes clear. This estimate deliberately avoids extreme delays, so you can use it as a helpful starting point for internal conversations about quote‑workload efficiency.
School procurement often involves multiple suppliers with varying response speeds. An account executive chasing quotes loses time that could be spent on strategic account management, making education‑focused MSPs particularly sensitive to supplier‑side delays.
The £12.71 is an indicative baseline only. It represents a conservative hourly cost for an account executive’s time. Your MSP’s true internal cost may differ, so use the calculator as a helpful starting point.
Once you open a free Edunet MSP account, you can request a live, supplier‑backed annual connectivity quote, such as a 1000Mbps line. No supplier names or pricing are shown in public pages.
