Scotland care provider Bield Housing & Care has awarded cash and carry operator Bestway Wholesale a new contract to supply its 50 developments with all food and beverages for the next three to five years.

Steve Irons, Senior Contract and Key Account Manager for Bestway Wholesale says: “Bield Housing & Care are a major player in the Scottish care home sector and I am delighted that they have chosen Bestway Wholesale as their supply partner for the foreseeable future.  As a registered charity, it was important that we worked with them to meet their requirements and within their budget. 

“Bestway Wholesale now has a wide range of clients across the foodservice spectrum in both private and local authority sectors. The addition of Bield to our contract business demonstrates our ability to deliver within the care sector and I am looking forward to a long and successful collaboration.”

Speaking about the new contract David Porter, Interim Procurement Manager at Bield Housing & Care commented: “At Bield, we are continually looking to get the best value from our supplier partners. This is not about always looking for the cheapest option but making sure we pay competitive prices whilst maintaining the high levels of quality and service. 

“Bestway provides the comprehensive range of products we require within our exacting delivery framework and budget parameters. The contract team demonstrated that it understood our business and its challenges and I am delighted that we are working together.”
