Anchor Hanover Group is England’s largest not-for-profit provider of housing and care for older people, operating 120 care homes across England. These services support over 6000 older people with a range of residential care needs where safety, dignity, independence, accessibility and regulatory assurance are central to day-to-day operations. Anchor operates a distributed care home estate and needs a consistent, auditable and insight-led approach to the capture, triage, investigation, oversight and learning of incidents, safeguarding concerns, complaints, compliments and quality events. The opportunity is to replace the legacy solution and strengthen resident safety, regulatory assurance, operational control and organisational learning. Anchor wants to improve understanding of how modern solutions can support end-to-end case management, timely escalation, regulatory reporting, action tracking and enterprise-level insight. The potential scope is expected to focus on regulated care home operations in England, with capability that can operate across multiple homes, regions and central support functions. Anchor requires both specialist best-of-breed solutions and broader care governance platforms, including where these integrate with retained digital care planning, medication management, workforce, resident, finance, document management and enterprise reporting services.
