How to Evidence Leadership and Accountability in Tenders

β€œWe have strong leadership” means nothing in a tender if you don’t back it up with substance. Commissioners want to know exactly how your leaders oversee care quality, manage risks, and ensure accountability at every level.


πŸ‘₯ Who’s Responsible β€” and for What?

Set out your leadership model clearly:

  • Registered Manager responsibilities and involvement in audits, supervisions, and care reviews
  • Director or Nominated Individual involvement in governance meetings, complaints handling, or safeguarding escalation
  • Team leaders or supervisors and their accountability structures

Include an organisational chart where possible, even in simplified form.


πŸ“Š How to Prove Accountability

Use practical examples:

  • Monthly reviews of incidents at governance level
  • Quarterly quality dashboards shared with staff and families
  • Director sign-off on service development plans

Don’t just say β€œwe monitor quality” β€” show who does it, how often, and what happens next.
