Dutch Sourcing Awards

Purchasing is a joint activity and that should be rewarded!

Every year, the Foundation for the Forward Development of Procurement organises the Dutch Sourcing Awards in collaboration with Berenschot, Heineken, NEVI, InQuest and media partner SCM.

To qualify for a Dutch Sourcing Award, Dutch procurement teams must achieve outstanding results. Previous award winners include Essent, Corus, Ahold, the Dutch National Railways, DSM and the Erasmus Medical Centre. A prominent jury judges the submissions received in various categories, such as Innovation and Human Capital. The winners are subsequently announced on the second Thursday of April each year, next year on the 8th of April.

The Dutch Sourcing Awards aim to motivate organisations to exchange best practices and to consequently raise the procurement function in the Netherlands to a higher plane.

Do you have a best practice that you would like to share with us? Then, why not submit your project or initiative for the upcoming Dutch Sourcing Awards!
