The LGC Business Partnership Awards

In order to highlight outstanding partnerships between business and councils, Local Government Chronicle (LGC) has launched the LGC Business Partnership Awards.

The awards will recognise and champion service providers who have worked in close partnership with a council or group of councils to deliver quality services.

Partnership_iStock_000006695073XSmall_146x219Entries can be made across twenty-two categories in six distinct sectors: Construction, Environment, ICT, Professional Services, Social Services & Transport and Traffic Management.

If you are more than just a supplier, are helping shape organisational change and are delivering excellence through your relationship with a council or group of councils, enter the LGC Business Partnership Awards to have this contribution nationally recognised by the only magazine for local government read by chief executives and directors across the UK.

Entering is quick and easy. See our 'how to enter' page to find out what to do.

The deadline for entries is Friday 8th July, so start working on those submissions now.
