  • Policy Framework for Good Food & Catering Procurement Context
    Appendix A: Policy Framework for Good Food & Catering Procurement (i) Context: Bristol has made a commitment to work towards a healthier, more sustainable food system, one which reduces food poverty, supports local food businesses and reduces the environmental impact of the way in which we produce, consume and dispose of our food. Bristol spends £millions on food and catering services annually and every public sector setting, from leisure centres and hospitals, to public open spaces, should have a food environment designed so that the easy choices are also the healthy ones (Gov.uk 2017). Bristol City Council is a key partner in helping Bristol become both a healthier city and a Gold Sustainable Food City. Through the development and adoption of a Good Food and Catering Procurement Policy, Bristol can use its significant buying power and its control and influence over contracts, concessions and licences, to encourage healthier and more sustainable food consumption and drive local economic development. Good food is vital to the quality of people’s lives in Bristol. As well as being tasty, healthy and affordable, the food we eat should be good for nature, good for workers, good for local businesses and good for animal welfare (Bristol Good Food Charter) National and local policy drivers include: Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action (Dept. of Health 2017) Strategy, Policy & Commissioning for Diet (National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2015) A Plan for Public Procurement: Food & Catering (DEFRA 2014) PHE (2017) Strategies for Encouraging
