Commenting on why the deadline for nominations was extended, Gavin Davids, Head of Editorial and Content at BPME states, “Given the high-volume of interest in this year’s Big Project ME Awards and how busy this period is for companies and individuals, we decided to extend the nomination deadline to 15 November, so as to give everyone the best chance to put forward quality nominations. We wish everyone the best and look forward to unveiling the shortlist and winners in due course.”
As before, there is no cost to submit nominations for the BPME Awards, and nominations will only be accepted via the event’s dedicated website. Once nominations close, they will be studied by an independent panel of judges comprising individuals from the consulting side of the construction industry, as well as academia.

Sharing his thoughts on how companies can stand out with their nominations, Davids states, “It’s important to take time with your submissions – detail exactly what you’ve accomplished and delivered over the last year. The more data and information you can share, the more informed the judges will be about your suitability as a winner.”
He also warns, “One thing that will work against you is submitting a company brochure or marketing pack – your nomination should introduce your company, tell us what you’re all about and be clear and concise. Each year, we receive hundreds of nominations, so if you want to stand out from your competitors, make sure the nomination reflects your achievements clearly and authentically.”
“It’s critical to include signed and stamped testimonials and endorsements in your submissions, as it gives the judges an opportunity to see how your partners, clients and stakeholders value your company’s contribution to their projects and operations,” he concludes.
