Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract will disqualify most small businesses unless they are already registered with the Care Quality Commission for domiciliary care; you cannot bid without existing CQC registration, which typically takes months to obtain and requires robust systems, staff training, and quality assurance frameworks already in place.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
