Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group procured a subscription service for a care-home search platform. The requirement combines access to the UK’s largest and most trusted care-home search platform, verified care-home reviews and an independent national care-home rating score. The service is intended to support Anchor’s occupancy levels by helping people search for and assess its care homes. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a service procurement rather than a works or goods requirement, and is relevant to businesses providing care-sector digital platforms, online search services, verified review systems or independent rating and information services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to TOMORROW’S GUIDES LIMITED. It used a below-threshold procedure and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026 and runs from 14 May 2026 to 13 May 2027. Its value is £107,114 excluding VAT, or £128,537 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as subscription services. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies TOMORROW’S GUIDES LIMITED as the selected supplier. The procurement record describes the required integrated care-home search, review and rating service, with the stated purpose of supporting Anchor Hanover Group’s occupancy levels. No separate award date or detailed scoring breakdown is provided in the outcome.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Anchor Hanover Group for a specialist digital service that can influence care-home occupancy across England. Suppliers competing when this requirement returns would need a credible care-sector search platform with broad national reach, a substantial and trusted care-home database, and a reliable process for collecting and verifying reviews. They would also need to provide an independent rating or scoring model that users can understand and that the buyer can use to support occupancy activity. Relevant capability includes subscription-based service delivery, platform maintenance, accurate provider information, review moderation, rating governance and evidence of user trust. A supplier able to combine these functions into one integrated service would be better placed than a business offering only generic web design, advertising or standalone customer-review software.
