Aquiire was named a finalist for the Procurement Service Provider Award among nine other finalists. Per representatives from Procurement Leaders, this year saw a record number of entries from some of the most influential companies across 36 countries for their 11th annual awards.

Panels of experts, including CPOs from Brose, Bayer, Diageo, Flex, Singtel and Rio Tinto, came together for the second phase of judging in London and Boston to debate submissions and decide the winners of each category. Eric Espinasse, CPO at Danske Bank, commented that the process has been "extremely informative and rewarding" and a chance "to learn from the market place and to learn about the evolution of procurement around the world."
