Residential Care Tender Writing & Support
Residential care providers play a vital role in today’s health and social care system. With an ageing population and hospitals under increasing pressure, care homes, nursing homes, and specialist residential services are more important than ever in supporting people and reducing demand for hospital beds.
But alongside these challenges comes a new reality: more commissioners are looking at procuring residential care through public sector tenders. For many providers, this is unfamiliar ground. The language is complex, the processes are demanding, and all of this comes on top of the day-to-day pressures of running a busy home.
The question is: are you fit to compete? With Insequa by your side, you don’t have to face this challenge alone.
How We Can Support Residential Care Providers
Tender Writing & Project Management
We craft compelling, fully compliant submissions designed to win.
From the initial brief to final submission, we manage the entire process, freeing your team to focus on care.
Tender Review & Feedback
Already drafted your bid? We’ll review it with a fine-tooth comb.
Our feedback is practical, constructive, and grounded in what evaluators score against, so you know exactly what you need to improve.
Mock Audits & PIR Support
Regulation is tighter than ever. Our mock audits highlight gaps before the inspector does, while PIR support ensures you’re fully prepared for CQC returns. The result? Greater confidence, stronger ratings, and a smoother compliance journey.
One of our audit reports is extremely useful when faced with a CQC inspection as you can prove you have used an external expert by experience team to give you guidance on improvements, and that you have a working action plan to make those changes.
Social Care Policies & Evidence Packs
Policies aren’t just paperwork they’re proof of robust governance.
We provide sector-specific policies and evidence packs that demonstrate quality and compliance, helping you build trust with both regulators and commissioners.
Growth & Social Value Strategies
Winning tenders isn’t only about care delivery it’s about demonstrating wider impact.
We help you frame your work in terms of social value, community benefit, and innovation. That not only strengthens bids it also builds credibility for long-term growth.
Why Insequa?
We are the UK’s only specialist growth and compliance experts in social care. Since our inception in August 2012, our team has used its combined 148 years’ experience to successfully secure over 4,000 social care tenders. With first-hand insight from our social care leads, many of whom have worked in a social care setting themselves – we know exactly what decision-makers are looking for.
And unlike generic bid writers, we take a personal approach and offer guidance based on industry best practice from all the tenders we have written. We get to know your service, your people, and your story and then help you tell it in a way that resonates with commissioners. We help you understand what social value is and how you can combine social value and added value to score more marks on each question.
Navigating tenders in social care can feel overwhelming – especially with new systems, complex requirements, and constant sector changes.
Every authority now uses the Central Digital Platform (CDP). Without registering and setting up your code, you won’t even be able to apply. It’s essential to have this in place along with up-to-date company information and evidence before opportunities arise.
