Care Home Supplies

Helping to improve care

Saving you money every day on care home supplies.

The health and wellbeing of residents is the primary goal of every care home. With Lynx supporting your buying, you and your staff will have more time and money to provide residents with even better care.

With our purchasing service and large network of suppliers, we can help your managers and chefs get the best quality products for your care homes – from essentials to specialist diet foods as well as residential home equipment, hygiene products, utilities, lighting and textiles. For multiples, we can give you visibility on costs group wide for better management and buying strategies.

Effective cost management

building price stability to plan confidently

We’ll provide quarterly statistics on what you purchase so you can analyse what’s in your shopping basket. And because we track prices right across the market, we can build price stability into what you buy by negotiating costs for a fixed time, so you can plan confidently.

Working with you, understanding your business

If you need help with menu planning or a nutritionist to tailor your menu for special diets, we can put you in touch with specialists. Similarly if you want to set up a new facility for your business, like an in-house laundry, we can recommend the right people to make it happen.

Our approach is to work with you, understanding your business and identifying suppliers that make your budget work harder. We find the best products from leading suppliers and help you get the best value possible.

Comments from our clients

"Lynx Purchasing provides a service bespoke to our needs in order to deliver not only competitive pricing in the marketplace, but also the product and quality we aim for. I wholly trust them and their method of charging for their services is not only fair, but the best way for a growing business to have its own purchasing manager."

Hamish Stoddart

Co-founder, Peach Pubs

"After 12 years of working together, Lynx Purchasing really are a part of PFS team. They go to great lengths to help us deliver the very best food we can to our residents, and we have total trust in them."

Maureen Sim

Operations Director, Pilgrim’s Friend Society

"“We’re small, and we’re looking to grow, and having someone there to help with purchasing removes an entire job for us – someone who’s there to work with you, and to get stuff sorted. We have a small menu, which means we need large quantities of certain ingredients. It’s not just about getting the best price, which is important, but also hooking us up with better suppliers, who offer consistent quality and will look after us because they value our business. With Lynx, there’s a wealth of knowledge and contacts we can tap into with a phone call."

Stewart Cumming

Operations Manager, Curry Leaf Cafe

"We have well-established relationships with local suppliers across the Highlands, and we complement that with products sourced through Lynx Purchasing . This includes food for our 45 staff that live in, as well as other essential purchases such as drinks. The advice and support we get from Lynx is invaluable, for example in educating our chefs to understand that they’re also business people, and have to be aware of the cost of what they’re buying. The seasonal forecasting is also excellent, in terms of not only what to put on the menu, but also what to avoid. Our relationship with Lynx is very personal, they’re always at the end of the phone when I need them."

Ross Aitchison

Operations Manager, The Torridon, Wester Ross, Scotland
