NHSP framework rate caps + Crown Commercial caps for healthcare agencies

How to set up rate caps per framework so the builder warns before a capped quote goes out.

Last updated 29 June 2026

Frameworks like NHSP and Crown Commercial publish maximum charge rates per role. If you breach a cap, the client will reject the invoice. We let you set these per-sector and warn live in the builder.

Setting up a framework

Settings → Sectors → pick a sector → "Framework caps" → "Add framework". Give it a name (e.g. "NHSP 2024/25"), then add a maximum charge £/hr per role slug.

Framework caps sub-tab in the sector detail view showing the Add framework button and (if any exist) the list of configured frameworks with their cap entries per role — Each sector keeps its own framework caps. Add as many as your clients reference.

Using it on a quote

In the proposal builder, pick the framework from the dropdown above the rate card. Any shift bill rate that exceeds its role's cap shows a red breach marker. The quote still saves and sends, but you see the warning before you click Send.
