From Registration
to Fully Occupied.
Most care providers don't struggle because they deliver poor care. They struggle because nobody has shown them how the commissioning system actually works. That changes here.
Compliance alone won't fill your service.
You have secured CQC registration. You have invested in policies, procedures, and your registered manager. You may even have your first inspection rating. But the referrals are not coming — and you cannot understand why.
The answer is structural, not operational. Local authority commissioners, brokerage teams, and discharge planners do not find providers through social media or leaflets. They work through dynamic purchasing systems, spot purchase frameworks, and established relationships.
If you are not visible within that system, you do not exist — regardless of the quality of your care.
"The primary failure mode for new care providers is not effort. It is not even care quality. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the commissioning pathway actually works — and who you need to be speaking to." — Godfrey Mushandu, CEO, Care Quality Support
The consultancy that covers the full journey
Most consultancies offer compliance or marketing. CQS is the only specialist consultancy in the sector that covers regulatory compliance, governance, tender writing, commissioner engagement, and now structured business growth — under one roof, with twenty years of frontline experience.
A structured pathway
to sustainable growth
Five service tiers designed to meet you where you are — from initial diagnostic through to long-term strategic partnership.
£2,000
£2,500
£2,500
£12,000
A clear, structured pathway from enquiry to growth
Every engagement begins with a diagnostic. Everything else follows logically from there.
The numbers make the case better than we can.
A single new domiciliary care client at twenty hours per week, at an average rate of £25 per hour, generates £500 per week — or £26,000 per year. Our three-month Business Growth Programme at £4,500 pays for itself with less than three weeks of one new client's care hours.
For supported living, a single bed placement can generate between £35,000 and £70,000 per year in supported living fees alone. The question is not whether to invest in structured growth support. The question is how long you can afford not to.
The first step is a conversation, not a commitment.
You do not need to know which tier is right for you before you get in touch. That is precisely what the Business Growth Diagnostic is designed to establish.
If you are a new, unrated provider who cannot secure placements — we have a structured, proven pathway for that. If you are an established provider with Good or Outstanding but operating below full capacity — we will identify exactly why and build a plan to address it.
If you are an existing CQS compliance or policy client who has never engaged our commercial growth services, now is the right time to have that conversation. You already have the compliance foundations. We will help you build the revenue on top of them.
"From registration to Outstanding — and from Outstanding to fully occupied."
