The CPC Excellence Awards has been officially announced for 2027 and you can nominate your supply chain heroes now, as we gear up to showcase some impressive projects and professionals at our glittering event in central Manchester, next May.
A real highlight of the Crescent Purchasing Consortium calendar, our annual extravaganza of excellence will take place at the Manchester Deansgate Hotel on Wednesday 26th May 2027 and we're keen to recognise standout suppliers and education sector colleagues who have made an impact in the last year, supporting institutions and learners through their excellent work.
This event is again set to spotlight Large, Medium, Small and New Suppliers, with awards for Social Impact, Collaboration and Innovation and opportunities to celebrate the Outstanding Procurement Professional and top Giving Back Project, plus more!
To begin the excitement, the nomination window is now open to our 1,000+ suppliers and 10,000+ members, with a closing date of 9th February. The full slate of categories and entry criteria is available on our dedicated CPC Excellence Awards site.
"We are delighted to announce the return of CPC Excellence Awards", commented CPC's Managing Director, Darren Lowe...
"Now into its fourth year, the 2027 CPC Excellence Awards are completely free to enter and will not only showcase how CPC suppliers are helping drive quality and innovation for CPC’s wider member community, but also recognise performance that has exceeded our member community’s expectations.
The award categories celebrate the contributions organisations have made in support of CPC member institutions, while considering their sustainability and social impact
"As a not-for-profit charity, we are committed to building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our community of members and suppliers, who are critical to CPC’s operational and strategic delivery and play an integral role toward our vision of being the procurement partner of choice for the education sector.
"I am personally looking forward to, once again, seeing the many examples of the incredible work within the education sector and sharing your successes at these awards. Good luck to all the nominees!"
CPC is able to offer a variety of table, exhibition and sponsorship packages for this forthcoming event, with interested parties advised to contact Ellie Griffiths for a discussion. Readers can also submit any questions, or book today, via our online form.
