About the Organisers

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!
