Two issues here :
1. the excluded cost that you are not allowed to charge is "the cost of preparing quotations". Taken literally, that is putting together the quotation, not all the planning etc which you are doing as that is part of the compensation event.
2. But the people need to satisfy the criteria in People 1 of the Shorter SCC, namely their normal place of working needs to be in the Working Areas, otherwise they are included in the Fee. So to qualify, unless a grown up agreement can be reached, you may need to re-locate them to there.
