The Cornwall Food Programme Bringing together
Sustainability and Food Procurement to benefit
the NHS and the Cornish Community.

Aims Objectives
We endeavour within the constraints of European
Procurement Regulations to offer small farmers
and producers the opportunity to tender and
supply produce for public sector contracts to the
NHS in Cornwall. This is achieved by developing a
two way partnership based on mutual objectives,
a common understanding and trust.

Aims Objectives
To achieve improved nutritional standards from
greater levels of protein, bigger portion sizes
and giving our patients the type of food they
want to eat. To support the economic development
of the local community through inward investment
and local procurement.
