Care provider agrees partnership with e-f group

The e-f group and Methodist Homes (MHA), the UK's largest charitable care provider, have launched a new partnership, with a six-month tender process resulting in a three-year contract.

It will see e-f group work across MHA’s 157 sites, with the care provider set to use its purchasing system Freshmarkets, menu management and costing system CaterCloud and BI reporting.

Karl Evans, national hospitality manager at MHA, said: “It has been an extremely worthwhile exercise in having e-f group being awarded the contract for MHA. We had outlined our detailed requirements covering differing areas from procurement, software, and digital support to ease the processes for our staff, customer service and ultimately continue to improve the quality of food for our residents.

"We also want to ensure that as an organisation we are adhering to legislative requirement as well as utilising technology which supports our growth and cost effectiveness whilst meeting the varied needs of our residents’ dietary requirements within our homes.”

Stephen Gallagher, healthcare director at e-f group, added: “We are thrilled with this new partnership with MHA, and we look forward to helping them achieve their business goals moving forward and collaborating to drive improvements and change in the sector.”
