They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Belgian CPAS (public welfare centres), schools, hospitals, care homes and government bodies extensively outsource meal preparation and delivery. These contracts are typically multi-year framework agreements, offering exceptional financial predictability for caterers and food service companies.
From daily meal trays for a federal administration to school canteen services for a municipality, through to event catering for a public institution, the sector represents a substantial business volume. FASFC (food safety) standards and short supply chain requirements make specialised monitoring essential.
