A broadband review helps schools across Wakefield and West Yorkshire understand whether their current connectivity contract is broadly in line with market options. Without current contract details and approved supplier pricing, only an indicative reference can be provided. This page explains what data is needed and how a review can be started.

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.
A broadband review looks at the current annual cost a school pays for its main connection. It then compares this against approved supplier pricing available through frameworks. Where current contract values are available, the review can suggest if your school may be able to reduce costs. Without that data, any estimate remains indicative only.
To create a meaningful broadband comparison, three pieces of information are typically needed: your current annual broadband spend, your minimum bandwidth requirement, and the contract end date. Approved customer-facing broadband pricing is also required. At the moment this data is not available, so a specific estimate cannot be shared.
If you are a school business manager, headteacher or trust finance lead in the Wakefield area, you can begin by gathering your current contract details. Once supplied through the Edunet Portal, the review can show an evidence-led comparison and a helpful starting point for supplier discussions. The process is designed to be clear and free from pressure.
A specific saving requires your current broadband contract value to be compared against approved supplier pricing. At present these data sources are not available, so no saving can be shown. The review is indicative and subject to supplier confirmation.
Typically you need to provide your current annual broadband spend, your required bandwidth and your contract end date. These details allow the Edunet Portal to compare against market benchmarks and indicate whether a review opportunity exists.
Yes, the broadband review is a free starting point for schools. It shows an evidence-led comparison and helps you decide whether to take next steps. There is no obligation and no charge for schools to see an indicative benchmark.
The broadband review focuses on connectivity, contract review and resilience. It treats the calculator result as a prompt for a closer school-specific check, not a confirmed saving.
The Wakefield and West Yorkshire page keeps the first step simple: choose the school, then use the available benchmark context as a cautious review signal.
