How Training and Competence Strengthen Your Workforce Evidence in Tenders
Why Workforce Competence Matters
Commissioners and CQC expect providers to demonstrate that their workforce is competent, confident, and appropriately trained. This isn’t just about having certificates on file — it’s about showing how your training translates into high-quality care.
What to Evidence in Tenders
When writing about workforce competence, include:
- Mandatory and specialist training completion rates
- Staff qualifications relevant to your service type
- Commitment to continuous professional development (CPD)
- Supervision, appraisal, and competency assessment processes
- How you address emerging needs through targeted training (e.g., PBS, autism, dementia)
Common Tender Weaknesses
- Listing generic training without linking it to quality outcomes
- Failing to show how training is refreshed or updated regularly
- Not evidencing the impact of training through audits, supervision, or outcomes
Strong bids connect training to real-world benefits: safer care, greater independence for people supported, and reduced risks.
