White Oaks, the senior living division of Compass Group UK & Ireland, has introduced a dedicated procurement service for catering teams and residents in senior living environments.
Catering Procurement Plus combines the group's procurement expertise and knowledge of the senior living sector with a robust infrastructure that simplifies the management of food service procurement and supports in-house catering teams.
This is a great way for organisations to leverage the expertise of our people - empowering teams to focus on what matters most - delivering exceptional meals and meaningful mealtime experiences.
By combining expert support, powerful digital tools and a trusted supplier network, the new procurement offering makes catering more straight-forward, sustainable and cost-efficient, helping teams deliver varied, nutritious meals that promote wellbeing and connection.
The service comprises three core features:
- Digital technology - an intuitive food service procurement platform, which automates and streamlines menu planning, ordering, stock control and dietary management, with instant access to nutritional and allergen data.
- Quality ingredients - a trusted network of local, regional and national suppliers, giving access to responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients at a competitive rate through collective buying power.
- Industry expert support - White Oaks' award-winning chefs, dietitians and operational managers work alongside the catering team to support menu planning, cost management and nutritional compliance.
Laura Tighe, Business Director at White Oaks says: "This is an exciting addition to our White Oaks offer. Catering Procurement Plus brings real added value to our clients by giving their teams the support and confidence to deliver enjoyable, nourishing meals without compromising on quality, compliance or cost control.
"This is a great way for organisations to leverage the expertise of our people - empowering teams to focus on what matters most - delivering exceptional meals and meaningful mealtime experiences."
