Opportunity Overview
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.
Resident safety and connected care technology is therefore a safety-critical capability, enabling residents to request assistance, supporting colleagues to respond effectively, and providing data to inform oversight, quality assurance and service improvement.
Purpose of this market engagement
Anchor is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand current and emerging market capabilities and to help define a strategic resident safety and connected care solution. Anchor wishes to explore a safe, resilient and supportable common platform, or a small number of controlled solution patterns, across its care home portfolio.
The preliminary market engagement will help Anchor understand the art of the possible, inform its defined specifications, target architecture, business case and roadmap, and explore the most appropriate delivery models for supply, installation, service and maintenance.
Problem and opportunity
Keeping residents safe, supporting independence and enabling colleagues to provide responsive, person-centered care are priorities for Anchor.

Indicative scope and areas of interest
The future solution must support Anchor in meeting all applicable regulatory and statutory obligations relevant to care home operations. Suppliers should demonstrate how their solution enables providers to evidence compliance during day-to-day operation, internal assurance activity and regulatory...
