Government Procurement Framework

[bluetoaster]

I have been looking for some documentation about rates and markups covered by the government procurement framework for public sector contractors. I may be thick but I haven't found anything. Does anyone have a link they can share?

I'm assuming the framework sets out rates for all agencies and bodies to use rather than agreeing separate rates for different agencies.

I have this Understanding NHS Procurement Framework, but can't find rates.

Why not submit a FOI request?

Commercial data like this is confidential.

On the other hand, it's not hard to find which agencies are on the Government lists.

It's more curiosity than anything. I've had dealings with a couple of agencies on the framework and know roughly what the markup is. Just curious about whether there was something written down listing the rates somewhere.

Framework contracts usually are won by tender. It is unlikely the issuing authority will specify a supplier profit margin (for personnel services) but they may set the parameters for fees they are prepared to pay to the supplier.
