Description

This service will provide a selected group of residents with daily, nutritious hot meals delivered straight to their homes, primarily to address food insecurity and, secondarily, to ease social isolation. Therefore, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is seeking a food supplier with a proven track record, ideally within the borough, and the logistical capacity to sustain a reliable, high-quality delivery service. All meals must meet rigorous nutritional standards and accommodate a wide range of dietary and cultural requirements, while offering residents daily choice and flexibility in meal selection. This is for a 3 year contract.
