About the Organizers

The National Project Excellence Awards are produced by Procure Partnerships Framework. The awards celebrate an array of innovative public sector projects delivered under the framework, its contractor partners and the positive impact these projects have on the local community.

A different kind of awards ceremony

Awards shouldn’t only recognise the great work across our peers and partners, but strive to inspire collaboration and the sharing of ideas. They should also be about having fun, which is why our awards are a little different to conventional ceremonies and include an afterparty with entertainment!

Quicker Procurement
Timeframes

Access to pre-qualified and continuously vetted contractors and consultants allows framework users to reach market within 4–6 weeks (construction) and 2–4 weeks (professional services), which is 2–3 months faster than an open tender. This is one of the fastest compliant routes to market available in the public sector.

Real-Time Performance And Compliance Oversight

A free project management platform is provided to framework users to support performance monitoring, risk management, and dispute resolution. The platform enables real-time oversight of financial status, compliance, KPIs, and supply chain health, producing auditable dashboards to support governance and early risk identification.

Financial Due-Dilligence

As part of our financial due diligence checks, we actively monitor supplier payment practices.

Using fair payment as a KPI, we track that suppliers are paying invoices within 30 days, helping to identify potential solvency issues or payment delays early.

 

The Procurement Policy Note 018 (PPN 018) requires suppliers to pay 95% of invoices within 60 days (90% with an action plan), our approach safeguards programme continuity and ensures invoices are paid within 30 days, a month ahead of the national policy expectations.

Regular Auditing

At Procure Partnerships Framework, performance management is embedded at both project and framework level, with pre-established KPIs spanning Cost, Time, Health & Safety, Sustainability, Fair Payment, and Client Satisfaction. Contractors report monthly via a secure cloud-based platform, providing real-time data across all live projects. This continuous monitoring allows us to identify emerging risks early, intervene proactively, and ensure that corrective action is applied consistently across the portfolio.

Social Value is Contractual

We mandate a minimum of 12% social value add on every project, with our contractor partners achieving an average of 62% social value add. Contractors are permitted to report on social value monthly, with all evidence being verified by a Social Value Advisor. Quarterly audits are also undertaken to push social value performance and celebrate successes. Find out more about our social value offering.

Strict Performance Standards

The framework enforces rigorous performance standards, with all KPIs benchmarked against an 80% threshold. Metrics like cost variance, programme adherence, and accident-free weeks provide quantitative insight, while client satisfaction surveys capture qualitative feedback. In addition, we mandate that pre-construction remains transparent and open book, ensuring contractors provide a minimum of 3 quotes on all packages.

Accountability

Social value is not an afterthought, but a contractual requirement across every framework project. We mandate a minimum of 12% social value add (SVA) on all projects, though our contractor partners consistently exceed this, delivering an average of 62% SVA, equating to £144.7 million in the last year alone.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
