Public procurement

Public institutions such as schools, hospitals, prisons and canteens now need to lead by example when purchasing their food requirements. This sector spends around £2 billion on food and catering services and this presents an opportunity to farmers and the food industry.

Food and farming industries can use collaborative approaches to supply food in the public sector.

We offers practical next steps to bring everyone in the supply chain together to help it function as a consortium of businesses in an efficient manner to deliver to the needs of public institutions.

Our Share to Supply project already works to encourage groups of farmers to look at the public sector as a genuine market opportunity providing them with examples of how it can be commercially rewarding and provide them with necessary assistance to take the first steps to making it work.
