Medirest, the healthcare division of Compass Group, has won a soft services contract with South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.

The contract, which starts in May 2025, will see the Medirest team delivering catering services for patients, staff, and visitors in the trust’s two main hospitals: Springfield University Hospital in Tooting and Tolworth Hospital in Kingston. The trust as a whole serves 1.2 million people across the London boroughs of Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton, and Wandsworth. 

The catering provision includes pre-ordering options, and access to a digital platform to allow the team to prepare fresh meals to order. Medirest will also deliver cleaning services across the hospitals.

Russell Blake, MD - Healthcare, Compass Group UK & Ireland, commented: “Medirest has a well-established history of forming strategic partnerships. We look forward to implementing this into our new contract with South West London and St George’s. Our people are our greatest asset, and we are excited to welcome our new team members as part of this partnership.”

Ian Garlington, Better Communities Programme Director for South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust, added: “We are looking forward to establishing a partnership approach with Medirest, supporting us to empower our patients, offering additional choice and diversity, and keeping them at the heart of everything we do. We will work together to create great services that will improve the experience of people across our Trust and support the delivery of high quality patient care for our South West London communities.”
