Soft Facilities Management Innovation Awards 2023

Innovation Awards 2023: Celebrating innovation in local government facilities management services

APSE is pleased to present the Innovation Awards, celebrating outstanding local councils that use innovative ideas and solutions to tackle the current challenges facing their frontline FM services which include Facilities Management, Catering and Cleaning. The awards provide participating authorities with an opportunity to showcase their expertise, alongside the results that they have achieved.

This year, the Innovation Awards are split into three categories:

• Catering Innovation Award
• Building Cleaning Innovation Award
• Green Innovation Award in Soft Facilities Management

These awards are to recognise the excellent work that is happening in environmental services. The ideal submission will contain a description of the problem or challenge faced, the innovative approach taken, and the outcomes achieved. Specifically, we are looking for councils that are contributing to the development of new initiatives, and of new working methods in their authority.

Finalists of the Innovation Awards will receive substantial publicity, both nationally and locally, with the winners announced at an awards ceremony held as part of the annual Facilities, Catering and Cleaning Management Seminar 2024, which will be held at Oulton Hall Hotel, Leeds on 25-26 January 2024.

Member and non-member authorities are welcome to submit an application. 

Entries will be assessed on a submission basis by an independent judging panel.
