Domiciliary Care

Domiciliary care services support adults to live safely and independently in their own homes, through personal care, medication support, and day-to-day assistance.

“These services are commissioned by local authorities through DPS, Frameworks, and Call-off contracts. Not sure what these mean? Read our guides or watch the explainer video.

Not yet CQC rated — or still working towards ‘Good’?

You might think council contracts are out of reach right now. But many domiciliary care providers are already capable of delivering additional services that sit outside CQC regulation — companionship, domestic support, meal preparation, transport, floating support, and more.

These services are in demand, can generate income today, and help you build the track record and service breadth that makes your tender applications stronger tomorrow.

How the process works

1. Eligibility & Compliance Audit –We review your CQC status, policies, and operational readiness against the specific requirements of your target local authority — giving you a clear picture of what’s needed before any work begins.

2. Opportunity Matching –We identify the right Tender, Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) or Framework for your agency’s capacity, location, and service type — so your time and resource is directed at the right opportunities.

3. End-to-End Submission –We manage the full application — portal registration, policy alignment, and expert narrative writing. You review and approve. We submit.

Pricing

Support is tailored to the size, stage, and complexity of your bid. We can provide fixed-fee or scoped support depending on what you need.
