Answers questions about the G-Cloud 15 Lot 3 (Cloud Support) rate card: its DDaT job families, roles and role levels, the pricing rules (maximum UK and offshore day rates, £50 minimum, 7.5-hour day, reduce-only), how the average day rate is scored, what suppliers charge for common role levels, and mapping roles to SFIA skills to describe a team. Not needed when the request is for the Lot 3 service definition or the pricing document; /arckit-uk-gcloud:sdd-lot3 and pricing produce those from the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DDaT Rate Card & Day Rates

Conversational knowledge about the G-Cloud 15 Lot 3 rate card: its job families, roles and role levels, the rules for pricing them, and what suppliers actually charge.

## Purpose

On G-Cloud 15, every Lot 3 (Cloud Support) supplier has one rate card, shown in full on each of its Lot 3 services. Suppliers give a **maximum day rate, UK and offshore, for each role level they offer**, chosen from a fixed list of 9 job families, 58 roles and 222 role levels. The list follows the government's Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) profession capability framework. SFIA rate cards, used on G-Cloud 14, are no longer part of the framework.

## When to Use

Activate when users ask about:

- Which roles and levels the Lot 3 rate card offers
- What day rate to set for a role level, or what the market charges
- UK versus offshore rates
- The pricing rules for Lot 3
- How a role maps to SFIA skills (still useful for describing a team)

## Quick Reference: Rate Card Rules

These come from the G-Cloud 15 pricing schedule (Framework Schedule 3) and How to tender (Attachment 2):

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tractorjuice/arckit-claude/DDaT Rate Card & Day Rates@sha256:3a92b5befd907448

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.36c6529, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
