Purpose of this notice
Anchor Hanover Group is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand supplier capability and market approaches for enquiries, admissions, occupancy and relationship management across its care home business. This notice is intended to alert the market that engagement is taking place, describe the opportunity at a high level and invite relevant suppliers to participate.
This notice forms part of a wider care technology pre-market engagement exercise that also includes nurse call and incident management. Anchor is considering these areas together to understand the market landscape, potential integration points and future delivery options across its care technology roadmap.
This activity enables market research to help Anchor define requirements, build the business case and design the target state architecture, by determining the extent to which enquiry management, CRM and customer financial management and/or workforce management is a specialist application that integrates to other systems or could be consolidated into a core care platform .
