The public sector in England spends around £2 billion per year on food and catering services, including in schools, hospitals and armed forces bases. This NAO report examines how public sector organisations can improve their food procurement practices in order to reduce costs whilst maintaining the quality of meals provided. The report finds that the public sector could achieve efficiency gains of £224 million by 2010-11, with significant scope for improvement in relation to: developing market knowledge and buying practices; employing joint procurement to increase purchasing power; establishing greater transparency in contract caterers' charges; promoting the professional development of catering staff in the public sector; reducing costs and environmental impacts through efficient operational practices; and increasing the take up of meals and income generated by them. Two accompanying documents are available separately: Case studies (HCP 963-II, ISBN 0102937435) and a Good practice guide (HCP 963-III, ISBN 0102937443).

The public sector in England spends around £2 billion per year on food and catering services. Drawing on good practice in the public and private sectors, this NAO report highlights six key areas where public sector organisations can improve their food procurement practices in order to reduce costs whilst maintaining the quality of meals provided. These include: managing demand for food purchases to optimise the volume, quality and cost of food; developing food buying and preparation skills and catering infrastructure; designing a catering service around the needs and policies of the organisation as a whole; and improving efficiency by streamlining processes and reducing overhead costs. Two accompanying documents are available separately: the main report (HCP 963-I, ISBN 0102937427) and a volume of case studies (HCP 963-II, ISBN 0102937435).

The public sector in England spends around £2 billion per year on food and catering services, including in schools, hospitals and armed forces bases. Following on from a NAO report (HC 963-I, session 2005-06; ISBN 9780102937428) published in March 2006, the Committee's report examines how public sector organisations can improve their food procurement practices in order to reduce costs whilst maintaining the quality of meals provided. It focuses on the organisations responsible for the three largest areas of public food expenditure: the Department for Education and Skills, the Ministry of Defence and the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency. The report finds that the public sector could achieve efficiency gains of over £220 million by 2010-11 through a range of actions including: obtaining more competitive prices for the same food items, increasing levels of joint purchasing, developing frontline procurement and catering expertise, and increasing levels of take-up, particularly in the school meals sector.

The book examines sustainable food procurement policy and practice in the European Union and beyond, exploring the extent to which sustainability objectives have been achieved and evaluating the new developments taking place at both EU and national levels. While there is a growing recognition that public authorities can use public procurement as a policy tool to pursue multiple environmental, health and socio-economic objectives, contracting authorities still face many challenges. This volume investigates the scope for pursuing sustainable objectives in public procurement of food and catering services, examining different regulatory contexts and organisational models to answer the overall question of how to integrate sustainability concerns into the various phases of public food procurement processes. Contributions in the book examine the policy and legal procurement framework and practices for sustainable public catering in three EU Member States: Italy, France and Spain. There is a comparative survey of the Baltic Region, including Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland and Russia, and moving beyond the EU, there is examination of the UK and Brazil, as well as a cross country comparison of the UK with Denmark and Sweden. Drawing on the expertise of an interdisciplinary and intersectoral team of contributors allows the book to benefit from the insights of different disciplines, including business sciences, anthropology and law. Tapping into the global discussion on public food procurement as a means to achieve multiple social and environmental goals, this work will stimulate readers looking for new creative ways to create value through public food purchasing. This book will be of great interest to students, researchers, policymakers and public- and private-sector representatives interested in public procurement, food policy and law, sustainable food sourcing and supply chain management.
