The aim of the Public Sector Food Procurement Project in the South West region is to facilitate public sector sustainable food procurement sourcing from local and regional suppliers.
The South West Public Sector Food Procurement Project (PSFPP) Action Plan details support activities that have been undertaken and planned.
Public Sector Food Procurement Project (PSFPP) Action Plan
It sets out to create links between the numerous diverse activities which exist across the South West, both at regional and sub-regional level, to encourage and facilitate the public food procurement process and their associated delivery mechanisms, and in parallel identify gaps in activity base that need to be addressed.
It also seeks to create communication networks across the South West region in order to:
- Share learning and promote best practice,
- Avoid duplication but encourage replication and development, and
- Develop case studies and exemplars which provide inspiration for others
Our vision is:
To increase the sustainable procurement of high quality, South West (SW) produced food and drink products from small and local producers onto the menus of the public sector in the South West.
