View lists of our approved providers for adult social care services, and information on how we monitor our providers. Find out how providers can contact us.
This page is for professionals only such as care workers. For information about adult care services for yourself or for someone you help care for, visit our types of care and support page.
To comply with our contract procedure rules, we have created provider lists for the following areas of work:
The lists ensure that individual placement agreements and individual service contracts can be entered into by our purchasing staff with approved providers.
Further information regarding the provider lists and the application packs are available through the YORtender portal.
We have, with help from the independent and voluntary and community services sectors, developed the following quality assurance frameworks, which allow us to look at how providers are performing.
The framework forms the basis of our quality assurance visits to providers. It is also a useful tool for providers to audit themselves and to make improvements. We are currently reviewing the quality assurance frameworks.
We work with providers to make improvements and to acknowledge good practice. This is done through baseline assessments, which involve visits to care providers to assess how they work on a day-to-day basis. These visits aim to compliment, rather than duplicate, other organisations such as the Care Quality Commission.
As a result of the baseline assessment, there will sometimes be situations where action needs to be taken and this will be made clear to providers. There will also be opportunities for us to work alongside providers and to assist them.
Carefind is a comprehensive directory of care homes across England. The platform features up to date availability, Care Quality Commission ratings, services and facilities at each home making it easier to compare and choose the right care setting.
