    Not on the Framework, but interesting idea.

    Thanks guys. Useful to have some benchmarks. Need to agree terms over the next couple of days and then potentially reboomed.

    My agency is on about 7%, they are a preferred supplier to a medium sized client

    9%??? Does being on the NHS framework give them an automatic right to screw you?

    Agencies that have done this for me before have not asked for more than 5%, and that was only one - the others have been 3%ish.

    The one I'm using it at the moment is doing it for 0% because the bank put so much temp business through them.

    I want to keep their margin down to a minimum. What is the panel's view / experience of what is manageable? I'm thinking 9%.
