If you have or plan to change your Care Quality Commission registration
The following can lead to a new Care Quality Commission (CQC) location being created:
- changing the location of your CQC registered office
- restructuring your organisation
- changing the provider responsible for your registered location
If you are a currently contracted home support, care home, or supported living provider, any change in CQC registration that results in a new CQC location ID will mean the contract awarded to the care provider is no longer valid.
This is because when care providers are accepted onto our care contracts, their application is linked to their CQC location ID. The contract award letter issued to the care provider is aligned with their CQC location ID.
If you are a home support provider contracting with us under the Framework Agreement for the Provision of Home Support for Children and Young People with Disabilities and Home Support for Adults, any changes to your CQC registration need to be discussed with your geographical commissioner in advance to understand the effect this may have on your current contracting arrangements with us.
Find out who to contact in the commissioning team.
For supported living and care home providers, a new contract application must be processed using the CareMatch Portal.
For instructions on how to reapply to join the flexible contracting arrangements for the provision of care homes with and without nursing services and care and support (supported living) contract, visit the CareMatch Portal page.
It is a contractual requirement that you notify us of changes of ownership, status and a range of other circumstances that affect how your business is registered or structured. You must consult the relevant contract to make sure you comply with your obligations.
Complete the relevant change in circumstances form and email it to marketintelligence@birmingham.gov.uk.
