Support us
Dynamic Procurement: Food (DP Food) is a Community Interest Company dedicated to advancing the widespread adoption of Dynamic Food Procurement as a standard practice in the public sector and beyond throughout the UK and Europe. DP Food operates independently and does not receive any financial support. Our work relies on the generous contribution of resources by a few individuals and companies who share our vision. Transparency is a core value at DP Food, and we are committed to maintaining open and clear communication across our work.
We are thankful to any organisation who wishes to support this agenda. DP Food invites the support of all stakeholders, e.g. Technology and Management Agents, who can contribute to this initiative and we are open to partnering with all relevant parties who can assist us in achieving our goals. DP Food does not endorse or recommend any specific technology provider over others. DP Food consistently recommends that contracting authorities' implementation of Dynamic Food Procurement must first include an open tender process for selecting a Technology and Management Agent, compliant with UK or EU procurement regulations. Please email info@dp-food.com and we will arrange a convenient time for a chat.
