Univ. Of Wisconsin Seeking Full-Coverage F&B Provider In '19-20

The Univ. of Wisconsin has posted an "opening for a vendor to provide concessions and catering functions" starting in the '19-20 school year, according to a front-page piece by Todd Milewski of the WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL. The athletic department "currently runs its own catering department to prepare and serve daily athlete meals and food and drinks in premium areas at events." In '13, UW selected Learfield Levy Foodservice as its "concessions provider." UW now is "seeking a five-year contract for the complete food and beverage package" through the '23-24 school year, with the "option for five one-year extensions." UW Senior Associate AD/External Relations Justin Doherty said, "We’ve been operating a hybrid with Levy and our in-house (operation) that probably just doesn’t have the consistency." Learfield Levy "manages concession stands at UW Athletics venues," with net sales of more than $5.2M for 176 events in the '17-18 school year (WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL, 1/17).
