How to Evidence Outcomes in Learning Disability Tenders

Why Outcomes Matter in Learning Disability Services

Commissioners want to see clear, measurable outcomes that show your service is improving the lives of people with learning disabilities. Promises aren’t enough β€” your bid needs to demonstrate the difference you make through evidence, data, and real examples.


What Commissioners Expect to See

Strong tenders provide evidence of:

  • People achieving greater independence, choice, and control
  • Improvements in health, wellbeing, and community inclusion
  • Reduced need for restrictive interventions through Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
  • Person-centred planning delivering meaningful outcomes
  • Continuous improvement and learning from feedback

How to Strengthen Your Outcomes Evidence

  • Use Data β€” Show measurable progress, such as reduced incidents, increased engagement, or achievement of goals aligned to individual support plans.
  • Include Case Studies β€” Real examples bring your service to life and demonstrate impact in human terms.
  • Provide Testimonials β€” Positive feedback from people supported, families, and professionals builds credibility.
  • Reference External Feedback β€” Contract monitoring reports, compliments, or CQC comments can strengthen your evidence base.
  • Show Continuous Improvement β€” Explain how you use outcomes data to inform learning and improve your service.
