Care Homes

The combination of government healthcare spending cuts, staff skills shortages and wage increases has seriously damaged the financial stability of many care homes and not even the largest group of companies have escaped the downturn. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic the press were reporting that a significant number of care home businesses could collapse over the next few years, at the very time when demand for social care is rising.

With the care sector in crisis, it is all the more crucial that your own care home business makes sure that it has control over its costs. That's where BSA can help...

Having supported Care Homes for over 20 years, we understand where costs drift, where margins are lost, and where the biggest opportunities sit. Many Care Home owners and management we speak to are overpaying in at least one area without realising it.

We make it simple to identify where and fix it quickly.

Where Care Homes Typically Overspend

Energy contracts that are no longer competitive.
Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies which haven't kept up with market benchmarks and are overpriced.
Telecoms and Broadband pricing that hasn't been challenged for several years.

These costs often increase gradually and go unchecked, impacting margins over time.

How BSA Buying Group Helps

We take a straightforward, low-effort approach:

We assess whether your current arrangements are competitive.
We connect you with a trusted broker partner or pre-vetted supplier.
They review your costs and provide clear options.
You decide whether to proceed.

If there is no clear saving or improvement, we will tell you.

Designed for Busy Commercial Teams

We understand that Directors and operational teams don’t have time to run multiple supplier reviews. In most cases, all we need is a recent bill or a short conversation. We handle the rest.

No Cost To Your Business

We do not charge our clients, but rather are paid by our supplier partners, typically on an ongoing basis, for introducing and supporting relationships. This does not increase the price you pay. Our focus is simple: deliver better value, or do nothing.
