In late July 2026, Tesco announced that its Whoosh rapid‑commerce service would be integrated with Uber Eats in August and later with Deliveroo, allowing customers to receive groceries within 20‑30 minutes from about 1,800 stores covering roughly 70 % of the UK population. The partnership also brings Clubcard pricing and points to orders placed through the apps.

A week later, Tesco reiterated its rollout schedule while Sainsbury’s disclosed a similar partnership with Uber Eats. Sainsbury’s customers can earn one Nectar point per £1 spent on grocery orders, with points redeemable for Uber vouchers or rides, and the two loyalty programmes can be linked for seamless reward collection. Both retailers aim to broaden on‑demand grocery access and strengthen loyalty incentives via third‑party delivery platforms.
