Alex Troughton, from Uber Eats UK, said: "It's clear that the needs of businesses and consumers have been rapidly evolving in recent years and that trend is accelerating. "This exciting new partnership will harness the best of Uber's technology to power superfast Tesco deliveries across the UK."Follow BBC South on
