Judging
Entries are Judged by the Best,
to Celebrate the Best
When you make an awards submission, your entry is put in front of some of the biggest players in the industry. These trailblazers are known for their business impact so they’re a tough group to impress. That means you can rest assured that entries are reviewed through a fair and rigorous process.
The World Procurement Awards
have a three-stage judging process:
1. Remote scoring
Each category is assigned to five or more judges for review and remote scoring
2. Peer review
Categories are assigned to different judges, who will agree or disagree and comment on the entries’ initial score from stage one
3. Judging day
Regional judging panels gather in person for a full day of discussion on the top scoring entries to establish the winners
*Should a judge’s organisation enter the awards, the judge with the invested interest won’t review the categories entered by his/her organisation at any of the three stages
*The only people with access to the entries are the Operations Team at Procurement Leaders and the judges. They both have to sign a NDA before being able to access the Entry Platform. They are not allowed to discuss the content of the entries with anyone outside of this judging process. For all confidentiality questions email v.rimatori@procurementleaders.com
