Procura+ Awards 2027 open submissions

Who will follow in the footsteps of 2025's Procura+ Award winners Berliner Verkehsbetriebe, Orleans Metropole and UNDP Uzbekistan? Applications for the 2027 Procura+ Awards are now open, inviting public authorities to submit applications in three possible categories: Sustainable Procurement of the Year, Innovation Procurement of the Year and Global Procurement of the Year. Apply by filling in the form below. Deadline: 20 September 2026 (23:59 CET).

The three categories aim to highlight sustainable, circular and innovation procurements and tender procedures and give visibility to the most dynamic, forward-looking and innovative public authorities and their initiatives. The succesful solutions will have a strong potential for replication and scaling up and will be an excellent showcase in using sustainable, circular and innovation procurement instruments to purchase cutting edge solutions.

Sustainable Procurement of the Year
This category will reward procurements which integrate aspects of sustainability, including environmental, economic, circular and social elements. It aims to showcase procurements which include a strategic and therefore holistic approach to implementing public procurement.

Innovation Procurement of the Year
This category will reward those procurements which use innovative approaches in their purchasing practices, as well as those that foster innovation by purchasing cutting-edge products, services and works and see the public authority as a launch customer, driving sustainable development.

Global Procurement of the Year
This category will focus on global outstanding public procurements and initiatives. This category goes beyond Europe and seeks to showcase good practice from all over the world.

The 2027 Procura+ Awards will be assessed by a jury of procurement experts and policy makers. The jury will be revealed soon. The winners and finalists will be announced during a special ceremony at the Procura+ Conference, taking place in the City of Barcelona from 16-19 February 2027. More information about the Conference can be found here. Registration and programme info will be announced soon.
