THE COMPLETE PACK
Everything you need for a structured buying decision
10 editable Word templates
A requirements brief, access-needs record, essential checks, demonstration script, comparison, cost sheet, evidence requests, pilot plan, decision record and implementation review.
Matching printable worksheets
Ten A4 PDF sheets for a paper discussion, with the same prompts as the editable workbook.
Offline comparison calculator
Compare three suppliers, weighted evidence scores and costs over 1 to 60 months. Save and reload a working copy or export a CSV summary.
Four-page fictional example
Follow the scoring and cost arithmetic, and see why an unfinished essential check keeps a decision open.
One-page decision checklist
Keep the requirements, evidence, cost, approvals and next review together before making a commitment.
A PRACTICAL SEQUENCE
Define the work. Test the shortlist. Record the decision.
Use the tools selectively for one service. Keep the organisation’s existing records, specialist reviews and authorised approval process in place.
Write the brief
Describe one workflow, a realistic baseline and the needs that the demonstrations must test.
Compare like with like
Use the same fictional tasks and cost period. Keep evidence references beside the ratings and essential checks.
Plan an approved pilot
Record scope, measures, support, pause conditions and who is authorised to decide the next step.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST IT
Practical questions
Who is the workbook for?
Care managers and service teams comparing operational software. The source context includes adult social care in England. Adapt the general prompts to your service, setting and current requirements with the appropriate leads.
Does the calculator need an account or upload my data?
Open the supplied HTML file locally in a modern browser. It makes no network requests and does not save automatically. You can download a JSON working copy, reload it and export a CSV summary. Keep copies in approved storage and do not enter personal care information.
Does it recommend a supplier or certify compliance?
It compares the requirements, ratings and assumptions you enter. It does not choose a winner, approve a purchase or replace information governance, security, legal, commercial or specialist care reviews. There is no regulator, NHS or supplier endorsement.
What does one service team licence cover?
One named service or location may print and adapt the purchased files for its internal team, including agency colleagues working there. There is no recurring fee for that edition. Additional services need their own licence. Public redistribution and resale are excluded.
How do payment and delivery work?
The shop saves an unpaid purchase request and reference. Care Unpacked confirms payment separately. Once payment is verified, an administrator issues a private download link valid for seven days. Submitting the form does not charge a card or automatically email the files.
