With inspections continuing to evolve and environmental sustainability now playing a greater role in how services are assessed, it’s more important than ever to understand what inspectors are looking for and how to prepare.

Our Partner, Citation, has created a FREE guide to help care providers

Winning contracts in the care sector can be challenging. From understanding frameworks to meeting commissioner requirements, many providers miss opportunities simply because they’re unsure how the tendering process works.

That’s why our Partner, Citation, has created a FREE guide to tendering in care, designed specifically for care providers.

Buying your first care home is one of the most significant steps you will ever take — and from the moment the transaction completes, you are legally and professionally responsible for every aspect of how that service operates. Governance sits at the heart of that responsibility. 

This guide, produced by Mac Research and Consultancy Limited — a specialist social care consultancy with deep expertise across both regulatory frameworks — is designed to cut through the complexity and give you a clear, practical foundation.

Big changes are coming to how employment rights are enforced. A new Fair Work Agency (FWA) — introduced under the Employment Rights Act 2025 — is due to go live in April 2026, with stronger powers to inspect, enforce and penalise employers. 

To help, Buyacarehome partner, Citation have created a free guide: The Fair Work Agency – what it is (and what it isn’t).

If you’re considering selling your care home in the next 12–36 months, differentiation can help boost the overall business value, supporting valuation, strengthening buyer interest, and may help reduce delays in the deal process.
