How to Use Case Studies When You Don’t Have CQC Quotes for Your Tender

📄 How to Use Case Studies When You Don’t Have CQC Quotes for Your Tender

Many social care tenders ask for evidence from CQC reports, feedback, or inspection quotes to prove your quality. But what if you’re newly registered, haven’t had an inspection yet, or simply don’t have the right quotes to hand?

Case studies are an excellent alternative for evidencing outcomes, impact, and quality of care. Here’s how to make them work for you:


✅ What Makes a Strong Case Study?

  • Focus on the outcomes achieved for the individual or service
  • Describe the challenge, your intervention, and the result
  • Link outcomes back to tender priorities (safety, dignity, wellbeing)
  • Include quotes from service users, families, or professionals if possible
  • Use anonymised examples to protect confidentiality

Commissioners are looking for evidence of impact — not just process. A good case study helps bring your service to life in a meaningful, human way.


💡 Why Use Case Studies?

  • ✔️ Strengthen answers where you lack formal inspection quotes
  • ✔️ Demonstrate person-centred outcomes clearly and credibly
  • ✔️ Showcase how your team overcomes challenges with compassion
  • ✔️ Build trust and confidence through real-world examples

They’re especially useful for questions on safeguarding, dignity, inclusion, and outcomes.
