Instinct Wave has unveiled nominees for the maiden edition of the Ghana Procurement and Supply Chain Awards scheduled to hold at the plush Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel on the 7th September 2018.

All nominees are required to submit entries, presenting strong reasons why they must win the various categories for which they have been nominated. Due to the change of date from July 27th to 7th September, deadline for submissions have been extended to July 31st. All submissions are to be the done on the dedicated website for the awards -www.ghpscawards.com.

Instinct Wave CEO, Mr. Akin Naphtal said during the media launch which was held on Friday, that, a celebration of procurement and supply chain executives is long overdue, considering the significant growth in the profession over the years.

With enormous support from Ghana Public Procurement Authority(PPA) & Ghana Institute of Procurement & Supply,(GIPS), Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS)and (CISCM), chartered Institute of Supply Chain Management we would like to change this mind set by celebrating, rewarding exceptional talents, teams and organizations that have demonstrated excellence in delivering best practice and innovation in the procurement and supply chain sector in Ghana.

“Over the years, Procurement and Supply chain practitioners have evolved by incorporating technology into their work, while maintaining best practices that enable them to improve spend management, streamline purchasing and achieve higher margins. The Procurement and Supply Chain Manager, manages the entire process in the planning of procurement and supply chain activities, inventory control, logistics and distribution, while ensuring effectively- functioning processes to avoid costly delays and lost opportunities” he explained.

Mr. Naphtal insists that, the efforts of these Procurement and Supply Chain practitioners have been largely overlooked and the time has come for them to be celebrated and encouraged to do more.

“For this reason, we are taking the bold step to celebrate and honour procurement and supply chain practitioners who have demonstrated excellence in delivering best practice and innovation in the profession," he added.

Winners will be unveiled during the gala night on 7th September at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel. We would also be unveiling the “Ghana Top 20 Procurement & Supply Chain Power leaders” at the gala night.
