Hi,

It is probably how the instrument you use is set.
You should change the pitch bend range from the instrument.
It is usually preset based.

Hello,
I am using BBC Orchestra from Spitfire Audio and it does not have a pitch bend option. What do I do then?

Then you don't pitch bend more than two semitones using MIDI.

Contact Spitfire and ask them about any possible under the hood option to change the pitch bend range.

From a quick google search, that instrument apparently doesn't have pitch bend beyond +/-2 - and only on some articulations.

Is there a possibility I can convert it to audio and pitchbend it that way? I am looking for a pitch bending plugin. Is there one I can use?

Well, Fluid Pitch is a MIDI pitch bending plugin which will scale lock your pitchbending messages.
