CATEGORIES
The CIPS Asia Excellence in Procurement Awards recognises innovative, engaging and successful procurement stories from organisations over the past year and from across the APAC region.
Here are the award categories this year:
OUTSTANDING PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Recognising excellence in professional procurement capability development.
This category rewards training or development programmes that have substantially raised the capability and influence of the procurement or supply chain team, leading to improved performance, results and business integration. Judges are looking for programmes that develop teams beyond traditional, technical procurement skills.

Recognising procurement projects that deliver significant social value outputs.
This category is open to both public and private sector organisations that are using innovative sourcing and contracting initiatives to deliver social value.
BEST SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT OF THE YEAR
Recognising social, environmental and responsible procurement projects.
This category encompasses Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) procurement projects. These can be either procurement-led or organisation-led initiatives but must evidence the specific procurement or supply chain role in the project’s success. We welcome entries from all aspects of sustainability from modern slavery and human rights, climate change and energy conservation through to community and regeneration projects.
PROCUREMENT TEAM OF THE YEAR
Recognising high performing procurement teams.
This category rewards procurement teams who have made significant improvements to their performance and culture resulting in increased effectiveness, influence, efficiencies, savings or competitive advantage. Open to organisations with a turnover of £500m and over.

This award will be presented to the profession’s ‘one to watch’ and is open to anyone aged 30 or under as of March 2023. The judges will look for evidence of achievement that is significant and beyond what is normally expected from managers of this age and experience.
LEADER OF THE YEAR
Recognising the most influential procurement leader.
This award recognises the most influential procurement leader who is pushing procurement and supply strategy forward and making a positive contribution to the reputation of the profession, through the value they deliver to their own organisations and the work they do to raise the profile of the profession more widely.
