The procurement process is in the planning stage with milestones set for engagement. Prospective suppliers are encouraged to express interest in the tender, which involves offering digital platforms that promote sustainable food habits across six London boroughs: Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hounslow, Hillingdon, and Richmond upon Thames.

The engagement deadline is set for 11th September 2025, 17:00, with the project anticipated to commence in Autumn 2025 or Winter 2025/26.

The project is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer user-friendly platforms with integrated shopping list generation and behavioural change tools. The potential reach of over 1.7 million residents across multiple boroughs further enhances the appeal for providers seeking growth and expansive market penetration. Businesses able to demonstrate innovation in digital food waste management and user accessibility are encouraged to participate in this promising tender. Suppliers interested in stepping into this market segment should complete the supplier questionnaire made available by WLWA.
