Qualis Solutions

What Qualis Solutions does

Qualis Solutions is a privately held UK consultancy founded in 2020 and headquartered in Nelson, Lancashire. The firm specialises in the social care sector, providing five core services: CQC and Ofsted registration support, tender writing and bid proposal review, independent quality audits and CQC preparation, recruitment of care sector leadership, and one-to-one mentoring for new and existing providers. It serves a mix of existing social care providers (across Supported Living, Residential Care, Domiciliary Care, and Children's Services), new entrants/start-ups, and local authorities and commissioners.

The underlying technology is professional services expertise rather than a proprietary platform; no software product, API, or AI capability is disclosed. The company has extended its reach through a digital services sub-brand called Qualis Digital, operates a content marketing programme of 38 blog posts, and maintains LinkedIn and Facebook pages for top-of-funnel demand generation. Delivery is nationwide, combining remote and on-site engagement.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with bespoke quotes and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Go-to-market is direct consultancy engagement via website, email, and phone, with discovery calls and tailored proposals. The firm is founder-led under Managing Director Michael Hinett, with no external funding, parent company, or institutional investors disclosed, and relies on the team's accumulated frontline operational experience as its primary commercial differentiator.

Others

• Learning Curve Group: UK training and qualifications provider with a substantial adult social care portfolio (apprenticeships, leadership training). Adjacent to Qualis's mentoring and leadership support service line rather than a direct competitor.
• Skills for Care: UK sector skills body for adult social care, providing workforce data, training guidance and leadership programmes. Not a competitor but a closely adjacent ecosystem participant that influences Qualis's buyers and complements its mentoring service line.
