DP Food is revolutionising public sector food procurement, utilising local food supply chains to support local authorities in delivering net zero carbon by 2050. Dynamic procurement forms part of the recommendations of the National Food Strategy. By buying local food the public sector can redirect their buying power to reduce carbon emissions, regenerate regional economics and level up small local producers. DPUK Food are inviting local and regional procuring authorities to form and launch a UK public sector compliant procurement framework. This is your opportunity to come together with other Local Authorities across the UK to form a food buying organisation that can deliver significant social, economic and environmental outcomes from 2022 onwards. The food supply chain holds the key to positively addressing climate change and carbon neutrality for local authorities today. Food spend is a big slice of the economy in your region and, if led in the right direction, it could have massive regenerative regional economic impact. Dynamic Food Procurement uses Dynamic Purchasing Systems with supporting electronic catalogues that use innovative technology to underpin the logistics process. This specialist technology creates an open digital marketplace that facilitates efficient short supply chain infrastructure using a proven, established platform. DPUK will enable virtual, regional delivery hubs to form, supporting and bringing together producers, logistics providers and local buyers. A South West Food Hub is already running to this effect in England. Get involved today - contact DPUK via our website where you will find events and our latest news.
