SUPPLIER AWARD – SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions for the Concrete Supplier Award 2026 should demonstrate excellence in concrete supply and client satisfaction for UK ready-mixed or precast concrete on projects undertaken between Autumn 2024 and Spring 2026.

The deadline for submitting completed entries is Friday 3 July 2026.

Nominations are encouraged from all ready-mixed and precast concrete producers that can demonstrate excellence and customer satisfaction for the nominated project.

Entries are project specific and can include the provision of single or multiple products.

Judges are looking for projects where concrete producers have gone the extra mile and made a significant positive contribution to the success of a project.

Judging will be based on a range of criteria. Your submission description might include information and comment on all – or the majority (as relevant) – of the following:

• the technical support provided prior to, and throughout, the project
• preparation and pre-contract period for the concrete production requirements
• specialist knowledge applied and success in meeting clients’ needs for innovation, performance, environmental impact reduction, cost effectiveness and programme delivery
• batching solution on-site, in factory, or remote, and transport/placing logistics
• managing challenging project requirements, eg, site location, timescales, weather conditions
• range of restrictions: noise, security, limited access, public safety, 24/7 operational site, night working, holiday period working, short possession windows/limited time available and tight site conditions
• demonstrate early engagement and/or collaborative relationship with the client/project team
• documented evidence and/or testimonial from the concrete supplier’s customer or the project client
• the positive impact of the project and the role of concrete to the built environment and the local community.

If you are unsure about the suitability of your entry, please contact the Concrete Society to discuss.
