Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions
How much does your consultancy cost?
Every engagement is different, so we quote individually. After an initial conversation and assessment of what you need, we send a written proposal setting out the scope, deliverables, timescales and fees. There is no online checkout and nothing to pay before you have agreed a proposal.
Do you guarantee registration or contract success?
No. Registration decisions are made by the Care Quality Commission or Ofsted, and contract decisions are made by the commissioning organisation. No consultant can honestly guarantee those outcomes. What we can do is help you prepare thoroughly, avoid common mistakes and present your service as clearly and accurately as possible.
Are you part of CQC, Ofsted or the NHS?
No. Regulated Care Consultancy is an independent consultancy. We are not registered with, approved by or endorsed by any regulator or the NHS, and we have no influence over their decisions.
Who do you work with?
We support individuals and entrepreneurs starting a care business, existing health and social care providers, healthcare staffing agencies and investors. Some clients come to us before they have a company; others are established providers looking for public sector growth.
What happens after I submit a quote request?
You will receive an email confirming your enquiry reference. We review what you have told us and contact you to arrange an initial consultation. After that, we send a tailored proposal and quotation. You are under no obligation to proceed.
Tell us what you are working towards
Whether you are preparing a first registration or bidding for your next public sector contract, share a few details and we will come back to you to arrange an initial conversation. Every engagement is quoted individually.
