We all have at least one person that we think of, when we picture the person who has helped advise and guide us in our career. This award is to celebrate those important individuals. Nominees could range from well-known leaders across the Public Service to the quieter, in the background, steadfast support and guidance a person may have received from an advisor, manager or a colleague. Explain to us who this person is, what they have done, what it has meant to you personally, and to the development of the materiel management or procurement or fleet management community as a whole.

The Canadian Institute for Procurement and Materiel Management has established the CIPMM Awards in order to honour those amongst us that are making a significant contribution to the Procurement and/or Materiel Management Communities in Canada.

We have award categories for project management, community building and innovation for individuals or teams, as well as special memorial awards in recognition of nominees who exemplify the best in their fields. Nominees can be from either the Procurement or Materiel Management Community, and we encourage people to nominate candidates at any time.

In encouraging our up and coming generation of Procurement and Materiel Management professionals, CIPMM is also pleased to offer a one-time student bursary to a student who submits an essay (minimum 5 pages) about a topic related to the future of procurement or materiel management in Canada.
