Purchasing Card
Catering
The decision to have food at a UW event, either on or off campus, presents a number of concerns including the safe and proper handling of the food, adequate insurance coverage and business procedures that meet the purchasing and accounting processing requirements. The University has established written policies that must be followed when catering food. The guidelines can be found at the following website address, http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/purch/ppp10.html.
If the outlined requirements are met, the catering may be paid with a purchasing card. All of the required documentation, including a copy of the vendor’s current insurance certificate that has been approved by Risk Management, must be attached to the cardholder log.
