It looks as though we may need this in our office. However, it looks like the license is for one PC only. Do we really need to shell out 10 x £299 to have this program on each of our ten computers in the office here????

you need really to speak to a MS approved partner
they can price you up and supply the license agreements
yes. open license is for 5-250 licenses on site. So you do get a discount.

No, you come to an agreement with a reseller to buy a quantity of CALs, Client Access Licenses, which allow users to use whatever software you specify when buying. I'm totally guessing on the price btw, but it shouldn't be too far off that.
Ummm, no, you are not going to see reductions like that on buying 10 copies - where were you getting figures like that from?
Last time we bought Office licenses (Professional 2003 if I remember) we were paying around £280 per license and that was under an Open agreement.
Once you added SA in (so you get upgrades FOC) you were getting close to £400.
£80 per license - you are talking educational/charity pricing here and even then negotiated pricing away from the normal channels.
Even Select licensing where you promise to buy a lot more than 10 a year wouldn't give you the prices you're talking about for Office.
*Edit*
Ah, guessing pricing...there is not a lot of savings to be had until you reach something around 50 and even then the savings aren't great or vast.
