Our clients include:

House of Commons

CPI has been used by House of Commons to monitor commodity pricing for many years.

“We have found the Catering Price Index very useful as we can see how effective our prices are. We have already negotiated new prices with suppliers as we have found we are paying too much on certain products. Our prices are fixed for a month or a year but by using the Catering Price Index we can then go back and re-negotiate. The possibilities with this system are endless and with your help you have certainly made it easier.”

HMPS

HMPS have monitored food prices against the CPI since 2001.

“Our experience with using the Catering Price Index has shown it to be a useful tool for checking current market prices on a wide range of food lines. We are currently looking at developing a shopping basket of key products to help benchmark movements in the market.”
