Technology Services And Framework
Framework Description
Sanctuary Housing Association's Technology Services Framework is a planned procurement for technology services and IT project support, listed on Sanctuary's procurement pipeline and not yet awarded. Once in place, it will give the association appointed providers for ongoing technology services, individual IT projects and digital transformation work across its housing and care operations.
Context & Use Case
Sanctuary runs homes, care homes, supported housing and student accommodation, and all of these rely on IT. The framework is intended to cover both continuing technology services and project-based transformation, letting Sanctuary bring in specialist delivery capacity when a project starts instead of running a separate procurement for each piece of work.
Scope of Services
Technology services IT projects and project support Digital transformation support

Who Can Apply
IT service providers, systems integrators and digital consultancies with housing association or care sector experience are best placed. Because the framework is still at the pipeline stage, there is nothing to join yet; suppliers should prepare now so they can bid when Sanctuary publishes the tender.
Buyer Benefits
Sanctuary wants specialist technology expertise available without tendering for each project, and continuity of service while systems change. Suppliers that understand housing and care operations, handle resident data securely and can show measurable improvements from past digital projects will match what a housing buyer looks for.
Next Steps
Use the procurement pipeline document linked from this page to gauge timing, and set Find a Tender alerts for Sanctuary so you see the notice when it is published. Meanwhile, prepare housing or care sector case studies, information security certifications, a delivery method for IT projects and social value proposals, so you can respond quickly once the tender opens.
How Athena Can Help
This framework is still in Sanctuary's pipeline, which gives technology suppliers time to prepare properly. Athena's public sector bidding support starts with a bid/no-bid view and a plan for the bid. Then our bid management specialists build win themes around your housing-sector track record and write responses to the evaluation criteria once the tender lands.
We can also add it to a framework pipeline plan alongside other housing technology frameworks opening over the next year.
