Provides (6)
I believe the answer is:
caters
'provides' is the definition.
('cater' can be a synonym of 'provide')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for caters that I've seen before include "provides what's needed" , "'Supplies food, ready to eat (6)'" , "Provides services for, supplies" , "Supplies food for parties" , "Does fare" .)
