Supporting Healthy Eating and Staff Wellbeing with H2O Vend
H2O Vend supplies healthy vending machines & Smart Fridges to workplaces, hospitals & schools. NHS CQUIN compliant solutions to boost staff wellbeing.
In today’s fast-paced world, access to healthier food and drink options at work, in education, and in healthcare settings is more important than ever. Staff, students, and patients all benefit when nutritious choices are convenient and accessible.
At H2O Vend, we specialise in supplying healthy vending machines and Grab&Go Smart Fridges across workplaces, hospitals, schools, and colleges. Our solutions are designed to align with the NHS CQUIN guidelines, ensuring that organisations can provide healthier snacks, drinks, and fresh food options that support wellbeing and productivity.
What Are NHS CQUIN Guidelines?
The NHS Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) guidelines were created to promote healthier eating and reduce the availability of high-sugar, high-fat, and high-salt products in healthcare settings. Many workplaces and education providers are now following the same standards as best practice.
H2O Vend helps organisations stay compliant by ensuring that our vending and Smart Fridge ranges:
Provide a wide selection of low-sugar drinks and nutritious snacks.
Place healthier choices at eye level to encourage better decisions.
Limit high-calorie, high-fat products without removing variety.
Promote hydration with chilled water and no-added-sugar soft drinks.
By partnering with us, you’ll not only meet CQUIN requirements—you’ll actively improve the health and wellbeing of your people.
