Rewarding Best Practice Procurement
 |
Sometimes procurement is regarded as a dirty word in the built environment, but particularly in support services. When it is done poorly projects can go badly and many issues rear their head further down the line. But, when procurement is done well, especially if it is delivered as a collaborative project as on so many of our CEW Awards then it reaps huge dividends for all concerned – particularly in terms of economic, environmental and social benefits.
The Welsh National Procurement Awards provides the perfect showcase for recognising leadership, excellence and experience in procurement/tendering and it is important because the people driving procurement best practice are so often the unsung heroes of construction.
Milica Kitson, Chief Executive at CEW "These Awards are very important and I am therefore only too happy to be asked to be a judge again. I look forward to reading the entries each year because it makes you aware just how much good work is going on around Wales"
Ed Evans, Director, Exemplar and Demonstration Programme said
"The evening was well attended by a broad range of individuals, companies and organisations from across all sectors. It was good to see the construction industry well represented and taking a number of awards. This recognises what sensible construction procurement can achieve and the benefits it brings to communities across Wales".
But the awards also served to vindicate what CEW champions because they recognised so many of our own CEW Awards winners of recent years, such as Vince Hanly and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council along with City and County of Swansea and Amber Services.
