Providers with a Quality Standard award

Our preferred provider list is made up of supported exempt accommodation providers and managing agents who have achieved 70% in their Quality Standards assessment with a Gold, Silver or Bronze award.

Providers that achieve 40% to 69% receive a 'developing' status.

The list also includes providers waiting for final assessment following an initial vetting. The award will last up to two years, and providers will continue to be monitored and reviewed within this period.

If a provider is subject to a regulatory review or judgment that is currently live, no formal Quality Standard award will be given. You can view a full list of current RSH judgements and notices on the GOV.UK website.

Birmingham Voluntary Service Council (BVSC) will agree that the award is withheld but continue to work with providers for a further 12 months.

If the provider is still compliant with the standards a year after the assessment has been completed, BVSC will then award the provider. It is expected that providers continue to progress any concerns of the Regulator alongside the requirements of the Quality Standards.

If you are a registered provider or managing agent and would like to be included on our preferred provider list, email ExemptStandards@bvsc.org or visit the Birmingham Voluntary Service Council website for more information.
