How to Evidence PBS in Your Tender Responses

How to Evidence PBS in Your Tender Responses


What β€˜Evidence’ Really Means

Commissioners don’t want vague statements about Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) β€” they want proof that your service delivers it consistently and effectively. This means providing clear examples, data, and outcomes that show PBS is more than just a policy β€” it’s embedded in practice.


Strong Evidence for PBS Might Include:

  • Case studies demonstrating PBS in action and outcomes achieved
  • Data showing reductions in restrictive practices or incidents
  • Training records confirming staff competence in PBS approaches
  • Quality assurance reports reflecting PBS principles in practice
  • Testimonials from people supported, families, or professionals
  • Commissioner feedback recognising effective PBS delivery

Why This Strengthens Your Bid

Strong evidence builds commissioner confidence. It shows your service is:

  • Aligned with key priorities (e.g., restraint reduction, human rights)
  • Focused on person-centred outcomes
  • Competent and well-led in embedding PBS across operations
