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 and the NHS through Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS) and Frameworks.

Not yet CQC rated?
You may still be able to access commissioning opportunities through unregulated services — companionship, domestic support, and more. Find out how.
How the process works
1. Eligibility & Compliance Audit – We identify the right DPS, Framework, or tender for your location, capacity, and service type.
2. Opportunity Matching – We review your CQC status, policies, and operational readiness against the requirements of your target local authority.
3. End-to-End Submission – We manage the full application — portal registration, policy alignment, and expert narrative writing. You review and approve. We submit.

FAQs
Yes — CQC registration is required for domiciliary care tenders. We confirm the specific regulatory requirements for each opportunity as part of our eligibility review before any work begins.
Most tenders require a rating of Good or above. In some cases, a registered provider with no rating yet may be able to apply if they can demonstrate relevant past experience. This depends on the specific tender — we check eligibility for you before any work begins.
Most tenders require verifiable experience — clients you have worked with who can provide references. A brand new provider with no service delivery history is unlikely to meet the selection criteria for most opportunities. We assess this as part of our initial eligibility review.
It depends on the opportunity. Most have a defined geographic region, and some require a local office within the area. The geographic requirements will always be set out in the tender documentation — we review these as part of our eligibility check.
It depends on the tender. Some set a fixed rate which you accept or decline. Others ask you to submit your own rates using a provided template. We cover the commercial section in detail at the kickoff call. You can also read more on our Tender Commercials page.
Live-in care is more closely aligned to supported living in terms of how it is commissioned. You may find the Supported Living page more relevant to your service type.
