Sodexo has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement for Food and Nutrition Management Services with Premier, Inc.
Effective May 1, 2024, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for Sodexo’s complete portfolio of Food and Nutrition solutions, encompassing patient nutrition, clinical nutrition, patient engagement, and retail solutions platforms to deliver comprehensive value for outsource operations.
The foodservice and supply chain industry continue to evolve from the challenges of the past few years. As part of that evolution, both self-operated facilities and those that utilize outsourced services continue to evaluate innovative solutions to drive and deliver cost savings initiatives.
Premier and Sodexo have identified an opportunity to create a unique collaboration within the Foodservice Operations Management space to deliver transparent operational efficiencies and savings for those that utilize outsourced services.

With our global resources, research-driven programs, and skilled personnel, we're committed to delivering exceptional outcomes and patient experiences."
The new agreement will provide industry leading Food and Nutrition solutions based in data and science to differentiate the patient, clinical and retail solutions for outsourced services.
