Welcome to the National Procurement Awards

The National Procurement Awards 2012 winners are now available below

The National Procurement Awards 2012 took place before a packed audience of the top echelon of Ireland’s procurement professionals, with the Richard Curran of RTÉ's Dragons Den fame presiding over the awards ceremony.

The awards venue was packed, with 350 representatives from all over Ireland present to applaud the finalists across 14 categories as the prestigious trophies were handed out to loud cheers from winners and their guests. Beaten finalists were rewarded with a special parchment to mark their success in reaching the finals.

The night was rounded off by a charity casino in aid of Saint Vincent de Paul.

The awards attracted over 60 entries, with judges commenting on the overall high standards which made choosing the eventual winners all the more difficult. On behalf of our sponsors, congratulations to all our winners and commiserations to those who were not successful this time around.

The list of winners is now available below, and pictures of the night are now available on the Awards' Facebook page - be sure to like it to be kept updated about next years Awards!
