Provision of Food and Packaging Supply Services

⁠⁠⁠Moreland City Council is seeking a panel of suitably qualified suppliers to provide various dry, fresh, chilled and frozen foods, as well as food contact packaging, for use in the production of delivered meals.

Moreland City Council’s (MCC) Food Services Program provides approximately 400 meals daily to residents and another 100 meals daily on a contractual basis to external councils. MCC Food Services program operates in compliance with stringent Food Safety Program requirements, according to the Victorian Food Act 1984(the Act). We are registered as a Class 1 Food Premises under the Act, as we supply ready to eat meals to vulnerable persons, including the frail and elderly, who may be immune compromised. To maintain Class 1 registration, a Third Party audit is carried out on an annual basis to ensure compliance with legislation.
