How PBS Strengthens Your Social Care Reputation and Supports Future Tenders

PBS Is About Outcomes — And Outcomes Drive Reputation

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is not just a model of practice — it’s a clear indicator of a provider’s commitment to person-centred, evidence-based care. Services that embed PBS typically see better outcomes for people supported: reduced restrictive practices, greater independence, and improved quality of life.

These outcomes strengthen your reputation with commissioners, families, and professionals. A strong reputation builds trust — and trust builds opportunity.

Why Reputation Matters for Tenders

Commissioners consistently look for providers who:

• Deliver positive, measurable outcomes
• Reduce long-term costs through proactive, preventative approaches
• Embed continuous improvement in their culture

A strong reputation for PBS signals to commissioners that you are a provider who meets these expectations — even if PBS isn’t explicitly referenced in every tender specification.

Strengthen Your Position for Future Opportunities

By evidencing how PBS shapes your culture, outcomes, and day-to-day practice, you position your organisation as one commissioners want to work with. This increases your competitiveness in tenders and your attractiveness for partnership opportunities.

Ultimately, your reputation is one of your most valuable assets — and PBS strengthens it.
