Officials are continuing to finalise the updated Government Buying Standards for Food and Catering Services and supporting guidance, which will showcase the use of sustainable, high welfare, quality produce in the public sector.

We expect to publish the consultation findings, alongside the updated standards and guidance, in the coming months.
