Your region, your store - your local products
Welcome to the Tesco Regional Sourcing website. Many of the best products in the world are produced in the United Kingdom and many of the best - and most innovative - suppliers, large and small, are to be found within our counties. We are proud to stock these products and to work with these suppliers. But we know, because our customers and suppliers tell us, that we can do more - both to celebrate the local products and suppliers that we have, and to make it easier for more local products and suppliers to reach us and our stores. Our customers have pride and passion for their regions, and we have listened to their requests for more regionally sourced products - promising, as a key part of our Customer Plan, to provide customers with the best local offer possible.
On this site, you will see some of the ways in which we plan to deliver on this promise. You will find profiles of some of the suppliers we work with across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. And through our 'What's New' section, you will be able to see how we plan to roll out to all parts of the UK our highly successful local buying programme in Scotland and Northern Ireland, where we have hundreds of local suppliers providing us with thousands of products.
We hope that through this website and through our stores you will begin to see the local offer that you have told us you want. Please come back and visit this site to find out more about our plans as they develop. And please let us know about the many great local products and suppliers in your region so that we can ensure your local store has the local offer you want.
