Care Change Alerts, for catering and food supply
Find new care homes and changes of provider in your delivery area.
A new home or a change of provider is a dated reason to ask who runs the kitchen.
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.
Which changes matter to you
New registration
The 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 change
A change of registered provider often brings the new provider's own supply contracts, and food supply is one of them.
Bed change
A change in registered beds changes the scale of a home's catering, dated to the register's file.
Rating movement
An inspection looks at how people are helped to eat and drink. The rating is CQC's, reported as published, with its date.

Why it may matter. A registration is the first public date a home appears on the CQC register under a named provider. The register gives the date, the provider and the beds the location is registered for, which is the scale its catering is planned for.
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.

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.
