Tesco shares new Uber Eats and Deliveroo partnership
The retailer’s new partnership expands on its existing Whoosh delivery service, offering more options for fast, store-to-door deliveries.
Tesco announced that the collaboration will launch in August and make Clubcard prices and points available to even more customers across the UK.
Expanding the delivery service to Uber Eats and Deliveroo is set to bring “benefits to even more customers”.
How will Tesco shoppers benefit from the new delivery services?
Ashwin Prasad, CEO of Tesco UK, said: “Whoosh has transformed the way millions of customers shop with Tesco – offering speed, convenience, and great value through the power of Clubcard.
“Launching with Uber Eats and Deliveroo will enable us to bring those benefits to even more customers.
“Our online business continues to go from strength to strength and these partnerships represent another important step in expanding our reach.
“By combining Tesco’s market-leading range, quality, and value with the scale of Uber Eats and Deliveroo, we’re making it even easier for more customers to shop with Tesco in a way that suits them best.”
The partnerships mean that customers will be able to earn Clubcard points and benefit from Clubcard prices on orders placed through both Uber Eats and Deliveroo platforms.
Saskia De Jongh, vice president at Uber Eats, said: “As the UK’s leading delivery platform we are thrilled to partner with Britain’s biggest supermarket.
“Uber Eats reaches over 90% of people in the UK, with more and more people choosing instant delivery for the everyday essentials that keep life moving.
“We cannot wait to help bring Tesco’s Clubcard Prices and quality products to an even wider range of customers this August.”
Tesco’s Whoosh service has offered customers rapid delivery since 2021, promising groceries in as little as 20 minutes from around 1,800 stores.
The company said Whoosh sales grew by 51 per cent over the past year, with around 1.5 million customers using the service across the UK.
