UW Catering Contracts
The University has a sizable list of preferred catering contracts. These vendors have been pre-qualified by UW Procurement Services and have agreed to the UW Terms and Conditions. The benefit to using caterers in the UW Contract pool is that any dollar amount is allowed without obtaining a sole source justification or seeking competition through the justification process.
PLEASE NOTE: You still have to fill out an application for a Temporary Food Permit for contracted caterers. Our Environmental Health and Safety staff need to look at each event and type of food and make sure the caterer is qualified, whether they are contracted or not.
