A fresh opportunity for local food
Our ambition is that by 2026, 50% of public money spent on food and drink in the South West will be spent directly with small and medium-sized producers based in the region.
To achieve this, we are supporting the development of a new framework for Dynamic Food Procurement in the UK. This is a new approach to public sector food procurement that will help small and medium-sized producers in the region to sell directly to public sector institutions.
Building Nationwide Support for Dynamic Food Procurement
Time For Action: Establishing Dynamic Food Procurement UK Wide
This online event, hosted by the South West Food Hub, is open to all. It will make the case for the establishment of a national coordination body called Dynamic Purchasing UK (DPUK). DPUK is encouraging the national take up of a dynamic food procurement model, co-founded by – and for the benefit of – purchasing authorities in every region of the UK. Find out more about the event’s expert speakers, and the schedule for the event.
Shortening food supply chains
The South West Food Hub is supporting the region’s food network to buy and sell locally, establishing shorter and more sustainable supply chains. We work across the South West’s food sector, focusing primarily on public procurement.
