Why Commissioners Value PBS in Tender Responses
Why Commissioners Value PBS in Tender Responses
What Commissioners Are Looking For
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is recognised across social care commissioning as good practice. Commissioners want reassurance that services understand, embed, and deliver PBS principles effectively. This isn't just about compliance — it's about improving lives.
In tenders, commissioners look for evidence of:
- Clear understanding of PBS frameworks and principles
- Staff trained and confident in applying PBS approaches
- Data showing reduced restrictive interventions
- Outcomes aligned to human rights and quality of life improvements
- Leadership commitment to embedding PBS in practice, not just policy
Why It Strengthens Your Tender
Demonstrating PBS in your bid strengthens your position by showing:
- Alignment with commissioning priorities (e.g., restraint reduction, person-centred care)
- Commitment to innovation and continuous improvement
- Stronger safeguarding and risk management processes
- Clear focus on meaningful outcomes, not just activity
This helps commissioners feel confident your service will deliver safe, well-led, and compassionate care from day one.
