Catering and food supply

A new home or a new provider is a dated change on the CQC register.

Catering contracts get set when a home registers and often change when a new provider takes over. The register records both with a date, long before the menu goes out to tender.

The alert tells you which you are looking at, in your territory, with the provider's company checked and the beds on the register, so you decide who to call first.

Check. Whether Simba Residential Care Limited is a provider you already supply, whether Manchester M34 is on your delivery routes, and the 20 beds as the scale of the kitchen.

Which changes matter to you

New registrationThe first public date a home appears on the register under a named provider, with the beds it is registered for, which is the scale its catering is planned for.
Provider changeA change of registered provider often brings the new provider's own supply contracts, and food supply is one of them.
Bed changeA change in registered beds changes the scale of a home's catering, dated to the register's file.
Rating movementAn inspection looks at how people are helped to eat and drink. The rating is CQC's, reported as published, with its date.

Before you call

Three things to check first

Is the provider already a customer

The company number is on every alert, so the check is against your own records.

Is it on your routes

The home's address and a map link.

How many beds

The register's bed count, dated to its file.

Questions

Common questions

Does it show who caters for a home now?

No. Nothing in the public register does.

Can I follow one provider group?

Yes. A watchlist of company numbers is a setting, alongside the territory.

What area does it cover?

England, because the CQC register is England only. You choose the territory that matches the ground you serve.

Can I use this for sales?

Yes. Alerts name companies, never people, and use the home's address only. Your own marketing rules still apply.

When does it start?

Today. Start the fourteen-day trial, verify your address, and the first briefing is prepared for your area. Nothing is charged.

The trial

Judge it on your own area for fourteen days

For fourteen days you receive your first briefing, then two weekly briefings, and priority changes inside your area on the day they reach us, as alerts or one daily digest. No card is taken, and nothing continues unless you choose it.

The fourteen days start when your first briefing is sent. CQC publishes the care register once a month, so some weeks carry a great deal and others carry nothing. An update with nothing in it says so and lists everything it checked.
