Description

This procurement has resulted in the award of a contract for frozen meals delivery to all Category 2.5 Sheltered Housing Schemes. The frozen meals allow the schemes to offer residents a wide range of meals to suit a variety of dietary requirements, including but not limited to vegetarian, reduced sugar and gluten free, ethical meals that include Halal, Kosher, Indian and Chinese. The meals are ordered by each scheme directly and they can then be reheated as and when they need to be served.
