About the buyer

Anchor Hanover is England's largest not-for-profit provider of specialist housing and care for people in later life, and runs its own procurement function to buy property, facilities and business services. Suppliers register on the Anchor Supply Portal to receive alerts on upcoming tenders. Larger opportunities are advertised through the government's Find a Tender Service. Regional contractor frameworks, awarded by competitive tender, supply its development pipeline. Almost 1,700 sites across more than 85% of English local authorities fall within its reach. A dedicated commercial team handles property, facilities and business services procurement.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.

Over the past 5 years, most of Anchor Hanover's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and architectural and engineering services.
