## Summary

The London Borough of Sutton procured the delivery and welfare-check element of its Meals on Wheels service. The work combines delivering meals to people who use the service with a welfare check during delivery. It is a community and personal support service, rather than simply a meal supply contract. Delivery is in the London Borough of Sutton; the procurement data identifies the location as the United Kingdom but does not give a more specific delivery area. The council is the buyer. The contract covers one service lot, for delivery of this defined part of the Meals on Wheels provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sutton awarded the contract to The Sutton Old People's Welfare Committee following a direct award without competition; the stated route was below-threshold procurement without competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £75,006. The award record does not state a separate award date or explain the evaluation basis. The process consisted of one lot, covering the delivery and welfare-check service. No competitive assessment or award criteria are described in the procurement details.

The award shows that Sutton buys a combined meal-delivery and welfare-check service for people using Meals on Wheels. A credible provider for this requirement would need to organise dependable local deliveries and carry out welfare checks as part of each delivery, with the operational capacity to deliver the service throughout the contract period. The selected organisation is The Sutton Old People's Welfare Committee, identified as a large voluntary, community or social enterprise. That establishes that Sutton has used a substantial community-sector provider for this service, but the procurement details do not set out mandatory qualifications, accreditations or experience thresholds. Suppliers assessing a future requirement should therefore focus on demonstrating reliable delivery operations and the ability to provide the welfare-check element together, rather than meal supply alone.
