Tesco is set to introduce grocery deliveries through Uber Eats and Deliveroo from August, expanding its rapid delivery network.

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.

Building on Existing Service

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.”
