Meet our 2024 Judges

Our judges are highly skilled and qualified professionals representing diverse expertise from various fields.

JUDGING PROCESS

Entries for the CIPS Excellence in Procurement & Supply Awards are submitted from a range of global organisations and sectors. As a result, we select judges with high levels of knowledge and experience of procurement and supply. Selecting the right mix of judges is important to us. Procurement leaders are invited from a range of sectors based on their knowledge, expertise and skills, giving assurance to anyone who enters the awards that their submission is judged by the very best of our profession. To ensure we are transparent with our processes we wanted to provide you with more information about the role of our judges and the judging process itself. Our judges will:

 ● Sign confidentiality agreements and agree not to engage in conversations with individuals or organisations who are entering or pass on hints and tips outside of the official CIPS channels.

● Declare any conflicts of interest and will be removed from judging or viewing categories where these are identified.

● Draw on their knowledge and experience to assess entries in their given categories.

● Check all entries meet the correct category criteria and re-allocate into correct categories if necessary.

● Provide scores and written comments on all shortlisted entrants and award winners, though these comments and scores will not be shared with candidates afterwards. The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence related to the decisions will be entered into.
