What to Include in a Governance Documents Pack for CQC and Tenders
Your governance documents shouldn’t be an afterthought. They’re the evidence behind your claims — the concrete proof that you lead well, monitor quality, and manage risk.
📁 What Is a Governance Pack?
It’s a curated set of documents that demonstrates how your organisation is structured and led. You might be asked for it as part of:
- CQC registration (especially for new providers)
- Local authority or NHS tender submissions
- Due diligence checks during contract award
📌 What to Include
- Governance Overview Statement — outlines your leadership and governance approach
- Organisational Chart — shows roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines
- Quality Assurance Framework — describes how you monitor and improve
- Training Matrix — tracks staff competency and compliance
- Risk Register or Summary — demonstrates proactive risk management
- Meeting Schedule — evidence of ongoing governance oversight
This pack not only supports registration or contract compliance — it reinforces trust.
💡 Tips for Use
- Make sure documents are dated and up to date
- Tailor the pack to the context (registration vs. tender)
- Keep a single folder ready to share — digital or PDF
Too many providers scramble for this information when asked. Preparing now shows you’re serious about governance.
