Tesco to launch on Uber Eats and Deliveroo

The supermarket giant said the partnerships would extend rapid grocery delivery, Clubcard Prices and Clubcard points to “millions more customers across the UK”.

The retailer already offers rapid delivery to customers through its Whoosh service. Fulfilled from 1,800 Tesco stores, Whoosh reaches more than 70% of the UK population.

The service was launched in 2021, and sales increased 51% last year with around 1.5 million customers using Whoosh across the UK.

However, Tesco said that as “customer demand for speed and convenience continues to grow”, the new partnerships announced today and launching in August will “build on the success of Whoosh and will give even more shoppers access to thousands of Tesco grocery, fresh food, household and everyday essential products”.

The partnerships will be rolled out across the summer, and from launch customers will be able to access Clubcard Prices and collect Clubcard points when shopping Tesco products on the apps for the first time.

Tesco UK chief executive Ashwin Prasad 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 the way that suits them best.”

Uber Eats vice president Saskia de Jongh 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 can’t wait to help bring Tesco’s Clubcard Prices and quality products to an even wider range of customers this August.”

Rob Harris, VP merchant and chief revenue officer at Deliveroo, added: “On-demand grocery is becoming an increasingly important part of many customers’ lives, and we’re delighted to be able to add Tesco to the Deliveroo platform, with the added value of Clubcard Prices and Clubcard points.”
