VCU Procurement Services

Fostering a community of financial advocacy at VCU!

Virginia Commonwealth University is exploring a new catering solution to streamline the ordering process, ensure compliance with procurement policies, and offer departments more flexibility with a wider range of vendors—including local favorites.

Why This Matters

Catering is essential for university events, but managing orders, invoices, and compliance can be complex. We’re evaluating potential solutions to:

  • Centralize the ordering process
  • Expand vendor choices, including local businesses
  • Ensure compliance with procurement policies
  • Improve cost-effectiveness and budgeting

What We’re Considering

The new catering platform could offer:

  • A broader selection of vendors to meet various event needs
  • Integration with procurement systems for seamless invoicing
  • Easy-to-use tools for managing orders and re-orders
  • Enhanced customer support for large events

Next Steps

VCU Procurement Services is reviewing available options and evaluating solutions that best meet the needs of faculty, staff, and event planners.
