The listed prices are “maximum” pricing (per minute) from each supplier (in other words, U of T clients will not pay more than the listed price). All suppliers offer discounts beyond max pricing (volume-based discount, time-based discount).
Please contact each supplier for a quote if you’d like competitive quotes, however, as these suppliers are already pre-approved, you are not required to get multiple quotes for projects under $25,000.
