Catering and Food Service

The City of Pontiac, Michigan, requires high-quality catering and food services for city meetings, trainings, and city-sponsored events of various sizes. The agency is seeking to solve the logistical challenge of feeding event attendees by securing a vendor that can handle diverse menu options, multiple service styles, and timely delivery and setup. The scope of work covers ordering, scheduling, staffing, delivery, setup, equipment management, food safety, sanitation, and sustainability practices. The selected vendor must provide hot and cold breakfast, lunch, and dinner selections, as well as snacks and beverage services including coffee, tea, water, soft drinks, and juices. The agency requires accommodations for various dietary needs and multiple service formats, including boxed meals, buffets, plated service, and drop-off catering. Bidders must submit proposals detailing their menu options, pricing structures, invoicing procedures, minimum order requirements, and waste management strategies. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the catering preparation work will take place offsite, with delivery and service occurring at designated city locations in Pontiac. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for pricing proposals from interested bidders to evaluate cost structures.
