The Subcontractor Rates tab in the Organisation Summary lists any rates that are applied as part of a subcontracting arrangement with another organisation. This tab is only available for organisations that have a Head Office linked. A list of subcontractor organisations for a given head office can be found by going to the Offices tab in the head office's Organisation Summary.
For each subcontractor rate, the following details are shown:
Programme Group – This is the type of programme for which the rate applies.
Age Band

The option to limit the list to Current rates and Search by Programme Group are available from above the list. Once you have entered the necessary details, press Enter or select the Search icon to run the search and apply your filters.
Selecting More shows an option to Export to Excel. Selecting this will generate an Excel Spreadsheet containing the details currently displayed in the list.
Selecting Add Rate in the tab will open a window where you can record a new subcontractor rate that applies to the organisation. This process is made up of two steps:
1. Choose the Programme Group from the drop-down menu. Select Next to continue.
2. Choose the Event Type from the drop-down menu. The event types available will depend on the Programme Type you have specified. Select Save to add the rate or Cancel to discard it.
You will then be taken to the Edit Rate window as explained below, where you can enter further details.
