General procurement typically treats food as just another operational overhead, alongside utilities like energy and waste. But for care providers, catering directly shapes resident health, dignity, and regulatory compliance - making generic oversight a genuine risk.
The hidden cost of generic procurement
Care groups face volatile food inflation, wage pressures, and complex regulations, all while needing to find efficiencies without compromising resident wellbeing. But when food is bundled in with other overheads by generic providers, kitchens are often left with rigid supplier lists and no specialist dietary support. The result? Quality suffers, compliance risks increase, and valuable opportunities to prevent malnutrition are missed.
