Description

Boston Public Schools is seeking a qualified catering contractor to provide, deliver, and set‑up food and beverage services for community meetings and events at multiple BPS‑designated locations. The contractor will be responsible for menu planning, food preparation, transportation, on‑site setup, service during meetings, and clean‑up afterward. The contract covers a series of events occurring between 11 Oct 2026 and 19 Oct 2026, with an estimated total quantity of one “service” (i.e., the overall engagement). Bidders must submit a single proposal covering all locations; multiple bids are not allowed. The award will be made to the most responsive and qualified vendor meeting the specifications and pricing requirements. • Scope: full‑service catering (food, beverage, staffing, equipment, cleanup) for community meetings. • Duration: approximately 8 days of event coverage across various sites. • Quantity: one overall contract (EA). • Submission: single bid required; no multiple bids. • Evaluation: based on qualifications, price, and ability to meet BPS standards.

Budget estimate

$10,000 – $50,000

The contract involves catering for multiple community meetings over an eight‑day period. Assuming an average of 30 attendees per meeting, a modest menu at $15 per person, and 4–5 meetings, total food costs could be roughly $1,800–$3,000. Adding labor, equipment, transportation, and a reasonable profit margin (≈30‑40%) pushes the overall contract value into the $10,000‑$50,000 range. Larger or more elaborate menus, additional locations, or premium services would drive the high end upward, while a simple buffet and minimal staffing would keep it near the low end.
