<p>Non-primary care services must be commissioned by clinical commissioning groups
(CCGs) or NHS England using the NHS Standard Contract. The NHS Standard Contract requires
any provider to comply with the registration requirements of Care Quality Commission
(CQC) where applicable. When this is the case the production of evidence of registration
with the CQC will be a precondition of the commencement of service delivery.</p><p>
</p><p>We would expect commissioners to require evidence of registration (if legally
required) with the CQC as part of the tendering process for a new contract. In the
case of delivery of services from a new premises or a newly-established provider,
registration may not be in place at time the provider submits its bid, but should
be before services commence.</p>
