The CPC Supplier Excellence Awards are back for a second year and, if your institution has benefitted from truly exceptional providers of goods, works or services, why not nominate, or encourage self-nomination? Let's celebrate supplier excellence!
Perhaps you have entered into a high-value contract with a brand new supplier and been thrilled with their efforts ever since, as they make your own life easier and provide your pupils or students with an altogether better service? Maybe a specific staff member has contributed above and beyond, and deserves to be recognised as a young procurement professional on the rise?
From ED&I advocates to carbon reduction champions, the CPC Supplier Excellence Awards look to shine a light on outstanding achievements that enhance the UK education sector and, by submitting a nomination, or twisting a worthy supplier's arm, you can play a part in ensuring standouts from CPC's expansive supply chain can receive some of the plaudits they richly deserve.
Launched in 2024, the inaugural Supplier Excellence Awards proved a rousing success last summer, and this second edition will see the growing showpiece event make a welcome return to the Hilton Hotel in Manchester Deansgate on Thursday 26th June.
But, before then, we need nominees - and we're calling on our 10,000+ CPC member institutions to help complete the process!
2025's nomination window will be open until 5pm on Tuesday 22nd April and encompasses these 12 free-to-enter categories...
Collaboration within Education
Social Impact within Education
Outstanding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Commitment to Carbon Reduction & Sustainability
Young Procurement Professional of the Year
If you have someone in mind who has excelled in one or more of these areas, why not go about putting them forward? 🤔
