FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN SUPPORT FOR CARE SECTOR (COVID-19 OUTBREAK)

Our campaign is to support Care Sector businesses, struggling to arrange food supply chain. This situation has fast become a ‘Nationwide plight’.

In the past 10 days, we have supported over 170 Care Homes in creating trading accounts and arranging food/non-food supply, given the issues with local supermarkets or their current suppliers.

Our purchasing services are completely FREE OF CHARGE! We have agreed a 25% DISCOUNT with a National Food Supplier, to support the Care Sector in these challenging and unprecedented times. Thank you to Simon Crowther at ‘Care Skilled’, who alerted us to this developing situation.

The One Cost Team are fully operational from home locations and manning the phones 7 DAYS A WEEK. We are busy but we will answer all your calls, or respond to messages/emails!

We will create trading accounts on your behalf; One less thing to stress about!

Bidfood are now offering a click and collect service to the public from our Edinburgh, Inverness and Oban depots. This is ideal for those people working hard in the care sector who are struggling to buy groceries from the supermarkets and who don’t have time to go to lots of different stores. This is available Monday to Friday for next day collection. We provide a huge range of groceries, including chilled and frozen goods as well as non-food such as chemicals and paper goods.

Mark Murphy are still trading and providing fresh fruit and vegetables, milk, bread and other foodservice items to customers across the country.

Most our current volume is to our wide range of Care Home customers but also to our retail and wholesales customer base. We are also proving low priced community boxes full of fruit & veg (some with bread & milk too) and that is a service we can offer to any organisation at the moment.

We’re operating from our depots in Edinburgh, Pitlochry, Aberdeen and through our Total Produce depot at Glasgow Fruitmarket too.

I’m aware that several fruit & veg companies are planning to mothball operations or seriously considering it until the worst effects of the pandemic pass. We have scaled back on our contract and independent catering work though our focus is on maintaining vital fresh food provision to our communities across the country and if we can help organisations like Scottish Care, councils or any public service provider fulfil this task in any way then please do not hesitate to contact us.
