Residential Care
Residential Care services are commissioned by local authorities to support older adults who require accommodation with care in a CQC Registered setting.
This includes both residential care homes and nursing homes, supporting individuals with varying levels of need — including Dementia, Frailty, and complex health conditions.
These services are commissioned by local authorities through DPS, Frameworks, and Call-off contracts. Not sure what these mean? Read our guide

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.
