## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney is overseeing the "Community Kitchens Programme," which falls under the health and social work services category. The programme, aimed at enhancing residents' cooking skills and providing nutritious meal options, had its tender process initiated with a total value of £105,000. The contract period commenced on 3rd April 2017 and concludes on 29th March 2019. The procurement method employed was a selective process, and the tender period closed on 1st March 2017. The project is situated in London, UK.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their presence in community health initiatives. Businesses specialising in culinary training, nutrition education, or catering services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Providers who can tailor their services to the local community's needs and demonstrate effective strategies to combat obesity and social isolation will likely find this opportunity appealing.

## Notice

The Community Kitchen programme delivers free six week "cook and eat courses" to residents at seven estate based community kitchens and temporary housing locations across the borough. The Public Health funding is used to deliver tailored cook and eat courses and communications plans designed by the provider. The programmes aim to improve the confidence and skills of residents to produce nutritious affordable meals from scratch. The skills gained aimed to tackle the obesity epidemic as well as reduce social isolation for many residents in Hackney. The programme was initially commissioned on a pilot basis and the providers were given latitude to design a service tailored to the needs of the local community.
