Do more with less.
AWARD® evaluation software helps central government procurement teams to deliver significant procurement efficiency
Criteria applied consistently
Evidence captured securely
Fewer resources. Greater scrutiny. Higher expectations.
Central goverment procurement teams are being asked to deliver more with fewer resources. Spending pressures, procurement reform and increased scrutiny are creating new challenges around efficiency, transparency and confidence in decision-making.
Resource pressure
The government is targeting a 15% reduction in running costs, alongside plans to reduce civil service headcount by around 10,000 roles. Procurement teams must deliver more with fewer resources while maintaining effective processes and outcomes.
Greater scrutiny
The Procurement Act 2023 has introduced greater transparency requirements across public procurement, increasing the need for clear evidence, consistent evaluation processes and defensible decisions.
Higher expectations
Government departments are expected to deliver 5% savings and efficiencies by 2028-29, with almost £14 billion in annual efficiency gains targeted. Procurement teams must improve efficiency while maintaining confidence in decision-making.
Move from manual evaluation processes to confident, defensible procurement decisions.
AWARD® gives central government procurement teams a structured evaluation process that reduces manual effort, improves consistency and creates a clear record of how decisions were reached.
