Prior to the purchasing process of the municipality of Groningen, Green Deal partner Dutch Cuisine entered into a pilot with De Streekkantine (Regional Canteen). The aim is to incorporate local and regional produce within its corporate catering. De Streekkantine established the contacts with regional producers of bread, dairy, eggs, cheese and vegetables, handled deliveries, and set up the purchasing agreements. The experience resulted in a tender request with a high percentage of regional produce. In addition, criteria were included that tied in with local food policy: Healthy Ageing (health), Dutch Cuisine (sustainable food consumption) and Fair Trade. A key element in the tender was the focus that was requested for the client. The new company caterer is now Tweetal: a firm with a catering background and a large local and regional network.
