Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group procured floor-cleaning machines for use in its care homes. The requirement covers the supply of floor-cleaning equipment rather than cleaning services or building works. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Anchor Hanover Group, a large provider operating care homes, so relevant suppliers are equipment manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers able to provide machines suitable for care-home environments. The equipment may need to support routine cleaning across occupied residential settings, although the published requirement does not describe particular machine types, technical specifications or servicing arrangements. Businesses focused solely on janitorial labour, general facilities management or unrelated cleaning consumables are less closely aligned with this procurement. The category is floor-cleaning machines, CPV 39713410.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded on 20 July 2026 to Anchor Hanover Group for £135,000 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with signature scheduled by 31 August 2026. The published outcome identifies Anchor Hanover Group as both buyer and awarded supplier. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender, and no quality, technical or price weighting is stated. The requirement is classified as goods and is below the relevant threshold. The award is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. The contract covers supply of the floor-cleaning equipment for Anchor Hanover Group’s care homes across the United Kingdom.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would be suppliers able to source, manufacture or distribute commercial floor-cleaning machines for a large care-home operator. They would need dependable equipment suitable for repeated use in residential care settings, with the operational capacity to supply sites across the United Kingdom. Strong candidates would be able to demonstrate consistent product availability, reliable delivery, clear technical specifications and practical support for staff using the machines. Experience supplying care homes, housing providers or other multi-site organisations would help show an understanding of occupied premises, routine cleaning demands and service continuity. Businesses should also be prepared to compete through a direct below-threshold route where the buyer considers a non-competitive purchase, while recognising that this awarded procurement did not publish competitive evaluation criteria.
