Under NEC3 PSC, how do you control expenses and staff rates?

We’d like to set out an expense policy and rates payable within the contract doucments and also categorise staff rates by regions and normal/overtime rates with preambles taht set out when staff rates are payable. We plan to set this all out in the CDP2. Is there anything stopping us from doing this?

Please can you clarify whether you are an Employer wishing to have all tenders tender on this basis or a Consultant wishing to tender on this basis.

PSC contracts - not understanding expenses can turn out expensive!
You will only get paid as it says in the contract

Expenses are outside of the Price for Services Provided to Date clause 50.3 - so if the intention is make the staff rates inclusive of expenses then 50.3 would need to be amended - otherwise the consultant could be paid for expenses twice once in the satff rates and as part of the amount due 50.3!!!
