After successfully expanding our annual CPC Excellence Awards event in 2026, the forthcoming 2027 edition (our fourth to date) is likely to be with us before you know it, with the gala moving up in the calendar, to take place on Thursday 6th May.
Due to the earlier date, our nomination window will subsequently open towards the back end of 2026, so do watch this space...
Originally launched in 2024, CPC Excellence Awards awards recognise innovation, collaboration and excellence in procurement, celebrating those that consistently go above and beyond to deliver standout services and support to the UK's education sector.
Previously focused strictly on suppliers, the awards evolved this year to spotlight outstanding members and there will again be four award categories which recognise members' achievements, so be sure to keep an eye out for the self-nomination window opening this winter, letting relevant people in your organisation know about this new opportunity for sector-wide recognition.
The 2026 CPC Excellence Awards took place back in June, with CPC members, suppliers and partners alike congregating at The Lowry Hotel in Salford to celebrate organisations and individuals making an outstanding contribution to education institutions.
