Stop being overlooked. Become commissioning-ready.
If you're a CQC-registered provider with the skills and experience to deliver — but you're struggling to access council frameworks and contracts — PDA was designed for you.
Register as a ProviderYou have the capability. We help you demonstrate it.
Many capable CQC-registered providers have the skills, experience and ambition to deliver high-quality care to their communities. But they remain underutilised — not because they cannot deliver, but because they are not always visible, commissioning-ready or connected to the right opportunities.
Councils need what you offer. The challenge is bridging the gap between your capability and their commissioning processes.
PDA exists to help you cross that bridge.

- Get a structured assessment of your commissioning readiness
