Catering/Venue

The Multnomah County Health Department is seeking vendors to provide catering and venue services for various community meetings and events. The services are grouped into categories based on event size and type of service provided. Vendors should indicate their capability to provide services across one or more of the following: food delivery, food onsite, food and venue, and venue only. The County has specific standards that successful vendors must be able to meet, including food standards and health requirements, sustainability practices, local sourcing, and workforce development. • Food Standards and Health Requirements: accommodate values-based eating, address cultural and religious dietary restrictions, accommodate food allergies, and offer nutritious foods. • Sustainability Practices: minimize food waste, use dishware made with less toxic materials, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. • Local Sourcing: source products from certified firms, small and medium-scale farmers, and local markets. • Workforce Development: provide education, training, and a living wage, and support worker health and safety.
