The North Holland healthcare provider Stichting Omring aims for a healthy environment focusing on sustainable food and drinks. On Texel, they are setting up the ‘Green Nursing Home’: a green, circular, healthy, and social care-living facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulfilling the assignment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Client: Stichting Omring<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project: construction of a circular and green care-living facility<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procurement procedures: Private procurement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award: summer 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omring is working on sustainable catering with local products as part of their ‘Green Nursing Home’. This care-living facility on Texel will be green, circular, healthy, and social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omring collaborated with the platform I Love Texel<\/a> to supply local products. This platform connects entrepreneurs and farmers with, among others, the large kitchens on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors that made this project successful<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Matching supply and demand with a handy platform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elderly care and local entrepreneurs on Texel complemented each other well. Omring needed healthy and sustainable food, and local farmers, and entrepreneurs had the supply. An entrepreneur then brought the parties together. Thus, the platform I Love Texel was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the lead as an impactful organization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare organization Omring has an important role as one of the island’s largest employers on Texel. Investing in mutual relationships was valuable for local food producers and the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining a warm relationship with partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of attention was paid to the relationship with local entrepreneurs. Continuous investments were made in this area. With success, as the good relationship helped both parties move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for similar projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Find a common goal with stakeholders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care-living facilities had a demand for food and beverage preparation. Local entrepreneurs, in turn, provided the supply. A win-win situation. Create a goal that benefits both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider mutual dependency when buying locally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Texel, there is a mutual dependency between healthcare organizations and entrepreneurs. In local terms, the volumes purchased here are large. This brings risks, for example, for the continuity of business operations. Even if this is less relevant to your project: approach such a situation with trust and invest in each other’s world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actively search for suitable collaboration partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See how these partners can contribute to your sustainability ambitions. Simultaneously inspire other organizations to work on their social responsibilities actively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
