It is designed to give school business managers, headteachers, and finance teams a clearer view of how current arrangements compare with typical market pricing.

Indicative
Final savings depend on tariffs, contracts, site usage and supplier confirmation.
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 Telecoms / VoIP review looks at your school’s annual spend on telephony and voice-over-IP services. By applying a cautious 17% saving assumption, the estimate gives an indicative view of what might be possible if your current arrangement is above typical market levels. Because the estimate depends on having a current spend figure, it works best when you can share basic invoice or contract data.
Edunet Portal combines an approved benchmark assumption (17% for Telecoms / VoIP) with your school’s own data wherever possible. We use DfE and GIAS identity records to confirm school details, and we reference school financial benchmarking returns when they are available. Without a current spend figure, the calculator signals that a review is possible but cannot yet quantify an indicative saving.
Schools in Halifax, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Leeds often share similar supplier profiles and contract structures. This area calculator helps you understand whether your telecoms costs sit broadly in line with typical local benchmarks. It does not claim your current costs may be worth reviewing, only that a review might reveal opportunities when you have clear spend data to hand.
It is a cautious benchmark used by Edunet Portal to estimate potential Telecoms / VoIP savings. The 17% figure is applied to your school’s current annual spend where that data is available, giving an indicative review opportunity rather than a indicative review opportunity.
Ideally, yes. The calculator works best when you can enter a recent annual telecoms spend figure. Without it, the tool can still show that a review may be helpful, but it cannot produce a spend-based estimate.
No. Edunet Portal provides an evidence‑led benchmark. Any savings or supplier evaluation would need to be confirmed through a full procurement exercise with verified quotes and service-level agreements.
The telecoms and VoIP review keeps assumptions cautious. Any 17% telecoms signal is only used where the supporting evidence allows it, and the page does not use a 30% claim.
The Halifax and Calderdale wording keeps the page human-readable while the calculator waits for a confirmed school selection and available benchmark evidence.
