Catering is defined by UT Dallas as the provision of food service by a commercial operation on campus, including the activities of set-up, serving (if requested), preparation, removal of food service and clean-up, where the caterer is responsible for providing on-site staff and service. Catering is defined by the services performed, not by the type(s) or quantity of food provided.
Food delivery service is defined by UT Dallas as prepared meals delivered or picked up where no other service is provided. UTD event policies and guidelines must be followed. At this time campus departments should continue following current procedures for food delivery.
Whom do I call for catering service or support?
For questions regarding catering service, availability, and menu details, please refer to the Support Contact in the Catering Services table.
Where may I direct questions regarding payment for catering?
Please contact purchasing@utdallas.edu / 972.883.2608 for questions concerning use of purchase orders or purchasing cards for catering.
Where can I find information about the Special Events Risk Assessment (SERA) process?
Please refer to the Special Events Risk Assessment web page for full information regarding the SERA process.
Where may I direct questions regarding the SERA form?
Please reach out to Vanessa Balderrama (vanessa.balderrama@utdallas.edu / 972.883.6356) or specialevents@utdallas.edu for assistance with completing the SERA Form.
When do I need to submit a SERA form?
SERA Form must be completed by the Event Coordinator and submitted at least 10 business days prior to the catered event. Allow more time for exceptional approvals.
How do I obtain approval for service of alcohol at an event prior to 4:00 p.m. on business days?
A written request for waiver of the Regents’ Rules and Regulations concerning consumption of alcoholic beverages must be forwarded to the President’s Designee at specialevents@utdallas.edu using the completed Part 2 of the Special Events Risk Assessment. The President’s Designee will acquire permission from the president’s office on the department’s behalf.
How were the Approved Caterers selected?
The Approved Caterers were selected via a public bid based on the University’s Food Services agreement. Current documents recording Health Permit/COI and commitment to follow campus rules are kept on file by Purchasing.
What is a Food Delivery Service?
Food delivery service is defined by UT Dallas as prepared meals delivered or picked up where no other service is provided. Food delivery service does not require a waiver from Auxiliaries. However UTD Event rules must be followed.
A “Preferred Food Delivery Supplier” list is in the process of creation and once completed, all suppliers listed will require only a quote to be attached to the non-catalog requisition. In the meantime, campus departments should continue using current food delivery suppliers and following the current procedures for food delivery.
Chartered Transportation (bus, limo, or other) companies must provide UTD with a current Certificate of Insurance, and comply with safety and reliability requirements. The businesses listed on this page have already done so, and several are already available in eProcurement to use as a non-catalog supplier.
Unless the desired service will cost less than your delegated purchasing authority (i.e. you are able to use your Purchasing Card to pay for it), you must send a non-catalog purchase requisition through the approvals process to become a Purchase Order BEFORE you commit to acquiring the services. You may call for a quote ahead of time to get an estimate, and you may call several suppliers for quotes to compare price and availability, but only a Purchase Order or a Purchasing Card can officially obligate the University to paying the invoice.
Please also note that the UTD Purchasing Card should only be used for chartered transportation in the instances of team/group student travel, or on behalf of authorized guests of the University (e.g. contracting with Super Shuttle to pick up your guest lecturer from the airport and drive her to her hotel). Make sure you have documentation in the event of an audit. UTDBP3023: Travel and Risk Related Activities explains more about team/group student travel.
