What happens next? Inside the judging process for the National Procurement Awards 2025

The National Procurement Awards 2025 is Ireland’s premier celebration of procurement excellence, recognising the individuals, teams, and organisations driving innovation, sustainability, and efficiency across the sector. Scheduled for November 6, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry, this prestigious event honours the achievements of those shaping the future of procurement in Ireland.

The journey to the awards begins with the submission of entries, where organisations provide detailed accounts of their procurement initiatives. Each submission undergoes a comprehensive evaluation process:

1. Initial review: All entries are carefully examined to ensure they meet the criteria set for each category.
2. Shortlisting: Entries that demonstrate exceptional quality and innovation are selected to go forward to the shortlist for each category.
3. Scoring by judges: An independent panel of recognised experts in procurement scores each entry against a predetermined set of criteria. This panel includes professionals from academia, business, and related sectors, ensuring a diverse and impartial evaluation.
4. Collation of scores: The scores are collected and collated, with the entry receiving the highest overall score being declared the winner of that category.
5. Announcement of winners: The winners are announced at the awards ceremony, celebrating their achievements and contributions to the procurement industry.
