Update to Procurement Catering Policies

To ensure compliance with Regents Policy 5402 and AFSCME Article 5, contracting out for services can only be used as a last resort after all options for getting the work done by UC employees has been assessed and deemed not feasible.

Full-service catering events fall within these policies and effective immediately, all full-service catering requests at a UCSC owned or leased facility must use UC Santa Cruz Catering Services. If, for some reason, UCSC Catering cannot accommodate a request, individual departments may use an outside full-service caterer, but the caterer must comply with additional university regulations and be approved by Labor Relations and Procurement prior to the event.

Please see the full announcement for more information on full-service catering, contracting out, and the updated policies.
