Entries are now open for the 2026 Supply Chain Excellence Awards, the flagship programme celebrating the very best in supply chain performance, innovation and leadership.
Now in their third decade, the Awards have become the benchmark for supply chain best practice, recognising outstanding organisations and projects from across the UK and Europe. In 2026, regional awards are also running in the Middle East and Africa, the USA (submissions close on 5 June) and Asia Pacific (entries open on 30 March 2026).
Since their launch 30 years ago, the Supply Chain Excellence Awards have honoured transformative supply chain achievements across sectors including retail, manufacturing, healthcare, transport and more.
The 2025 Supply Chain Excellence Awards attracted more than 220 entries across 26 categories and involved 110 different organisations. The awards ceremony attracted some 800+ professionals from across the sector, offering an unparalleled networking opportunity alongside a night of celebration.
“That room represents where supply chain as a profession, as an industry, has come over the past 30 years,” stated head judge, Richard Hunt. “That makes the job of a judge evermore difficult, especially at the final stages, with so many exceptional entries redefining what we mean now by excellence in supply.”
Past Supply Chain Excellence Award winners range from retail giants and logistics partners driving digital transformation, to public sector teams delivering operational impact — all demonstrating how world-class supply chain execution drives competitive advantage and business value.
Why get involved in the awards?
Entry is free and open to companies of all sizes with operations in Europe. Shortlisted or winning entries gain industry-wide recognition, rewarding hardworking teams and boosting an organisation’s profile in an increasingly competitive environment.
