Entry Guidance
1
Provider Name
The name of the provider, usually a company, organisation or charity.
Yes
Age UK
Make sure you are using the correct organisation name, sometimes services within an organisation can appear to be an organisation in their own rights but they are not so further investigation may be needed.
The name used should be a trading name - as that is the name that will mean something to users of the system (if the registered organisation name is different, this should not create a problem, but there will need to be check carried out that these trading names are registered).

Provider Type
A Categorisation of provider, based on a pre-defined list
Yes
Voluntary and Charity Sector
The options are very broad so there will more than likely be a field that your provider fits in to easily. Usually you can see on an organisations website what type of organisation they are. Sometimes it might be more difficult and to find that out you may need to email them and ask them directly. Another option is to look at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/
