Announcing the APSE Scotland Striving for Excellence Awards

APSE Scotland is delighted to announce we are once again hosting our Striving for Excellence awards at the 2025 Scottish Fleet, Waste and Grounds seminar in Aviemore. These awards will recognise the hard work and success of local authority services in Scotland and provide an excellent opportunity for those within the related service areas to put forward their most deserving initiative demonstrating innovative ideas and solutions to tackle the current challenges facing our services.

Enter these awards to help drive the improvement of service delivery and performance, position your authority as a leader in innovation, and earn recognition from your peers by putting your project’s achievements in the spotlight.  Entries can be submitted for the following categories: -

• Waste and Recycling
• Parks, Grounds and Street Scene
• Fleet

Entries will be assessed on a submission basis by an independent judging panel with all Scottish authorities able to submit.  The local authorities who are finalists receive publicity, both national and locally with the winners being announced at the seminar’s annual dinner on Thursday 22 May 2025.  All successful Silver submissions in these awards will receive a free place at the APSE Scotland Fleet, Waste and Grounds services seminar for the full event and accommodation for three nights.
