Catering guidelines
When arranging catering for a meeting or event, The University’s catering operators should be your first choice. This will ensure that the relevant due diligence checks have been carried out in relation to food safety and hygiene.
Members of staff (individually or on behalf of their work unit) must not undertake any catering of their own.
A food safety toolkit is available on Safety Services website, which also has a very useful FAQ section.
Internal Providers
The University’s Finance Sub-Committee has confirmed that all catering for events can only be ordered through University Hospitality:
- Hospitality on Campus, 0161 275 6301, hospitality@manchester.ac.uk
You will need to complete a Requisition template approved by the appropriate budget holder. For general catering, use KB00138. Dominic Hunt is the budget holder. Once approved, the catering can be booked and the form and approval sent to the Library Admin Team.
Catering at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library
Please contact uml.finance@manchester.ac.uk before arranging any catering.
Thank You Scheme
For catering purchases under the Thank You Scheme, please note that all purchases require a Requisition template to be completed with the names of the individuals being thanked, and authorised by Chris Pressler. Once the form has been completed (Thank You code KB00358), this should be forwarded to the Library Admin Team.
