2025 CATEGORIES

Presented to IT professionals for demonstrating excellence in their field.

We are looking to recognise the individuals among the UK IT community who have demonstrated excellence in their profession during the past 12 months. The awards seek to reward individuals at all levels of an organisation who have contributed to the development and deployment of innovative IT systems that improve business operations or enhance public services. Entries can be submitted by IT vendors nominating their customers or employees, from companies/public bodies, or from individuals wishing to recognise either their own or their colleagues’ efforts.

While it is recognised that individuals can engage in work across many countries, entrants should be able to demonstrate a very strong UK base.

The awards in this category will be judged against four key criteria:

Professionalism (including ethical behaviour) : has consistently met or exceeded challenging objectives to ensure the successful use of IT and demonstrated a quality approach through personal values and working practices.

Innovation: has used innovative approaches, working practices or technologies to enhance their organisation.

Role model: has provided an example to peers or colleagues of the importance of the role of IT in an organisation and the standards expected of IT professionals.

Measurable success: has delivered quantifiable benefits to their organisation through involvement with IT initiatives in the past year and can demonstrate personal development to enhance their ability to succeed in future.

It should be noted that SFIA is used by the BCS as a reference for skills assessment.

Entrants should provide:

An explanation of how the submitted entry meets each of the four criteria, plus a maximum 250-word summary of why they believe they should win this award. Each entry, therefore, requires:

• An 80-word overview of the application which may be used for publicity purposes.
• Four sections detailing achievements (up to 500 words each) against each of the four criteria above
• A summary of success statement (up to 250 words)

Bullet-pointed justifications are acceptable

Entrants are urged to ensure that their submissions follow the above format so that the judges can give the entry their fullest consideration.

Additional Evidence: Any additional supporting information will be treated as confidential by the judges.

Please note that any additional documents provided should be brief and additive to the entry, and video material (in support of the category Inspirational Individual of the Year) should be a maximum of 3 minutes in duration.

All sections of the form must be completed.

Presented to organisations and/or project teams which have achieved exceptional results through an outstanding project implementation and, in so doing, demonstrated high levels of professionalism in IT.

We are looking for submissions of end-user projects that highlight the importance of new technology initiatives and demonstrate the benefits of well-managed IT implementations for changing and improving business and public life. Projects should have been completed since August 1st 2024 and have a significant UK-based element and a UK led project team.

IT suppliers may enter these categories for a nominated customer project but should be aware that the award is given to the organisation within which the project has been implemented.

Hardware vendors and software authors may submit an internal project to develop new products (i.e. where they are themselves the 'end-user') but it is emphasised that the assessment will be made solely on the characteristics of the build project and not on the product developed.

More than one project may be submitted by an applicant as separate entries, and a given project may be submitted into more than one category.

The awards in this section will be judged against four key criteria:

Innovation: Has the project introduced new or leading-edge technologies, supported a new way of working or pioneered an original change in business processes? Has the project stimulated new thinking, or laid the foundations for further innovation?

Return on Investment: Has the project measurably and substantially improved the organisation’s ability to achieve its core goals? Has it bestowed a significant competitive advantage, or dramatically enhanced the services offered to customers, staff or partners? Have there been spin-off benefits of the project?

Quality of management: Was the project completed on time and within budget? Did the project deliverables match or exceed the initial objectives? Were obstacles overcome with a combination of ingenuity and adherence to the principal aims of the project? What lessons were learned to improve the management of future projects?

Impact: What measures have been used to assess or quantify the success of the project? How has the project demonstrated technology’s role as a vital enabler in improving organisational excellence, competitiveness or quality of service? How will the project’s deliverables be developed, or how will they support future growth or change in the organisation?

Each submitted project should be able to clearly demonstrate, where relevant, affirmative responses to each of the criteria with the underlying characteristics of distinctive excellence, creativity and benefit to the organisation and/or its clients. Professional and ethical practices are expected to be applied throughout the project, which should also be evidenced in the responses.

Entrants should provide: An explanation for how the submitted project meets each of the four criteria, plus a maximum 250-word summary of why they believe they should win this award. Each entry, therefore, requires:

• Project overview (80 words), which can be used for PR purposes
• Four sections detailing achievements (up to 500 words each) against each of the four criteria above
• A summary statement (up to 250 words)

Entrants are urged to ensure that their submissions follow the above format so that the judges can give the entry their fullest consideration.

Please note that any additional documents provided should be brief and additive to the entry, and video material should be a maximum of 3 minutes in duration. All sections of the form must be completed.

Presented to organisations and/or project teams which have achieved exceptional results through an outstanding project implementation and, in so doing, demonstrated high levels of professionalism in IT.

We are looking for submissions of end-user projects that highlight the importance of new technology initiatives and demonstrate the benefits of well-managed IT implementations for changing and improving business and public life. Projects should have been completed since August 1st 2024 and have a significant UK-based element and a UK led project team.

IT suppliers may enter these categories for a nominated customer project but should be aware that the award is given to the organisation within which the project has been implemented.

Hardware vendors and software authors may submit an internal project to develop new products (i.e. where they are themselves the 'end-user') but it is emphasised that the assessment will be made solely on the characteristics of the build project and not on the product developed.

More than one project may be submitted by an applicant as separate entries, and a given project may be submitted into more than one category.

The awards in this section will be judged against four key criteria:

Innovation: Has the project introduced new or leading-edge technologies, supported a new way of working or pioneered an original change in business processes? Has the project stimulated new thinking, or laid the foundations for further innovation?

Return on Investment: Has the project measurably and substantially improved the organisation’s ability to achieve its core goals? Has it bestowed a significant competitive advantage, or dramatically enhanced the services offered to customers, staff or partners? Have there been spin-off benefits of the project?

Quality of management: Was the project completed on time and within budget? Did the project deliverables match or exceed the initial objectives? Were obstacles overcome with a combination of ingenuity and adherence to the principal aims of the project? What lessons were learned to improve the management of future projects?

Impact: What measures have been used to assess or quantify the success of the project? How has the project demonstrated technology’s role as a vital enabler in improving organisational excellence, competitiveness or quality of service? How will the project’s deliverables be developed, or how will they support future growth or change in the organisation?

Measurable success: Can the Team demonstrate significant commercial success for the Product/Service during the past 12 months?

Customer satisfaction: Is there evidence of customers using the Product/Service to improve their operations and would they recommend it to others?

Degree to which Product support is carried out in the UK: Whilst non-UK Products are not precluded, the degree to which the entry is developed, managed and supported in the UK is an important factor for the UK IT Industry Awards.

Entrants should provide:

• An Overview of the Product/Service (80 words), which can be used for PR purposes.
• An explanation of how the submitted Product/Service meets each of the four criteria (up to 500 words in each section).
• A maximum 250-word Summary explaining why they merit this award.

Additional Evidence: Any additional supporting information will be treated as confidential by the judges.

Please note: Any additional documents provided should be brief and additive to the entry. Video material should be a maximum of 3 minutes in duration.

All sections of the form must be completed.

The Technology Excellence Awards are presented to Recognise and Reward Innovative Hardware, Software, or IT Services, which make a significant contribution to Business Technology or IT in general.

We are looking to recognise Achievement and Innovation in the Development, Sales and Implementation of new/updated technologies released during the past 12 months that have a substantial base in the UK or where the Product or Service is marketed within the UK.

Entries may be submitted by Organisations, Institutions, Public Bodies, Vendors nominating their customers or themselves, or from individuals wishing to recognise their own Organisations’ efforts.

While it is recognised that organisations can be comprised of teams across many countries, entries should be able to demonstrate a very strong UK focus.
