Tesco is set to introduce grocery deliveries through Uber Eats and Deliveroo from August, expanding its rapid delivery network. This collaboration will enable customers to purchase groceries from the supermarket for fast, store-to-door delivery via the two popular platforms. The move aims to offer greater convenience and reach more shoppers across the UK.
Clubcard Benefits Extended
A key feature of the new partnership is that customers will be able to utilise Clubcard prices and accrue Clubcard points on all orders placed through Uber Eats and Deliveroo. This integration ensures that the benefits of Tesco's loyalty scheme are extended to these new delivery channels, as confirmed by Tesco. The supermarket stated that this expansion is designed to bring advantages to an increased number of customers.

Building on Existing Service
The introduction of Uber Eats and Deliveroo services builds upon Tesco's existing rapid delivery offering, Whoosh. Launched in 2021, Whoosh has seen significant growth, with sales increasing by 51% over the past year. The service currently operates from approximately 1,800 stores, promising delivery within 20 minutes for many orders. Around 1.5 million customers have used Whoosh across the UK.
“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.”

He further stated that the partnerships with Uber Eats and Deliveroo represent a significant step in broadening Tesco's reach. Saskia De Jongh, vice president at Uber Eats, commented that the platform reaches over 90% of people in the UK and is eager to bring Tesco's products and Clubcard prices to a wider audience.
