The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is seeking a full-service catering partner for two events celebrating the opening of the New Main Library in April 2027. The requirements include a Staff Celebration and Preview on April 26 for approximately 500 guests and a Donor Recognition and Celebration Event on April 29 for approximately 1,000 guests. The selected vendor must provide comprehensive services including menu development, food and beverage service, professional staffing, setup, and strike, as drop-off catering is explicitly prohibited. This solicitation, numbered 940RFP090126, requires responses by September 30, 2026. While the library is looking for a partner to handle both events, there is a possibility that the work will be split between two caterers. Final details regarding menus, staffing, and guest counts will be determined collaboratively after the contract is awarded. The library does not guarantee a minimum quantity of services or the award of both events to a single vendor.
