The Community Meals service will be unable to
continue without the newly proposed service delivery model, from
1st October 2024. It has been agreed to source equipment to cook
meals onsite rather than reorder ChefMobil vehicles to provide more
resilience and consistency to the service. The hotbox model has
been in use for several years with other Councils nationally with
great results. Therefore it has been agreed this is the way forward
for Guildford Borough Council.

Reasons for the decision

This decision is linked to the implementation
of the new Community Meals fleet vehicles. The new service delivery
model requires new equipment to make it live.

Alternative options considered

None.
