What Commissioners Look for in Quality Questions (And How to Answer Them)
🔍 Why Quality Questions Matter
Quality questions make up a significant portion of your tender score. Commissioners use them to assess how well you deliver safe, effective, person-centred care aligned to their priorities. Strong responses to these questions are essential to secure contracts.
📋 What Commissioners Want to See
- Clarity: Clear, structured answers that address each part of the question.
- Relevance: Responses tailored to the specific service, demographic, and commissioning priorities.
- Evidence: Examples, data, feedback, and case studies that show impact.
- Governance: Assurance that your systems support quality, safety, and compliance.
- Outcomes: How your service delivers real, measurable benefits to people.
💡 How to Strengthen Your Answers
Align responses to CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-Led). Use method statements to outline processes and demonstrate consistency. Back claims with evidence, not vague statements.
