Express Merchants Ltd shortlisted for two categories at National Procurement Awards 2025

Express Merchants Ltd has been named as a finalist in two categories at the National Procurement Awards 2025, shortlisted for Sustainable Procurement Team of the Year and Best Private Sector Procurement Project of the Year. 

The dual nomination recognises the organisation's strategic approach to procurement consolidation across its extensive network of over 6,000 locations throughout the UK and Ireland. Express Merchants specialises in reducing supplier lists while simultaneously increasing supplier location access, delivering cost efficiency and carbon reduction through streamlined procurement infrastructure.

The company's platform processes procurement through a unified system, enabling clients to track spend, monitor costs, and reduce administrative overhead while maintaining supplier choice. By consolidating procurement activities, Express Merchants supports organisations in lowering their carbon footprint through optimised logistics and reduced supply chain complexity.

The Sustainable Procurement Team of the Year nomination reflects the organisation's focus on environmental impact alongside commercial outcomes, positioning sustainability as integral to procurement strategy rather than a secondary consideration.

The Best Private Sector Procurement Project of the Year shortlisting recognises the company's systematic approach to transforming client procurement operations, combining technology integration, supplier network optimisation, and measurable efficiency gains.

Finalists for the National Procurement Awards 2025 represent organisations demonstrating innovation, strategic vision, and measurable impact across Ireland's procurement landscape. The awards recognise excellence in procurement transformation, sustainability leadership, and operational excellence.
