Suggested Outside Caterers

This list is intended to be exclusive for events $500 and more, and for events less the $500 to serve as a tool for use by the campus community.  It is left to individual clients to determine the appropriateness of caterers for specific events, and to assess the value of their product and service. Caterers who we consider outside are those who use their own staff, utensils, and serves on University property. Those who appear on the list meet the following criteria:
• Have a successful record of service on campus
• Acceptance of the University's payment terms and conditions
• Have a signed standard Case Catering Agreement on file
• Have proof of Insurance/Power of Attorney on file at the University

The Case campus remains open to the use of outside caterers under $500. Events $500 or more must use the preferred caterers with the following restrictions:
• Dively Executive Education Building is restricted to A Taste of Excellence. Call 216-368-0020 or dively.conference@weatherhead.case.edu for assistance. f you would like more information on the facility, for a meeting or event,  please click here http://weatherhead.case.edu/dively/
• The Manor House has a list of preferred caterers. Contact Patty Gregory at (216) 368-0274 or pkr@case.edu for assistance.
• Residence halls and the dining commons are restricted to Bon Appétit.

In all other campus facilities, the client may choose to use the services of our on-campus or off-campus preferred caterers.

Procurement Options and Procedures

The University has placed a restriction on events at or over $500. A preferred caterer must be chosen from the preferred catering vendor list. A Peoplesoft E-Procurement requisition** must be created prior to the event.

Event planners must obtain price reasonableness in the form of two quotes for all events between $10,000 and $25,000. Three written competitive bids are required for events that are $25,000 or more.

 

If your catering order is less than $500, a D card (on campus only), Case T&E Card, or individual credit card can be used. In the event that the caterer for an event that is less than $500 does not accept credit cards, then you must create a Peoplesoft E-Procurement Requisition prior to the event and a purchase order will be issued.

**Bon Appétit will continue to journal all events. However any Bon Appétit event of $5,000 or more will require the approval of the requestor's supervisor.
