Awards & Accolades
The awards and accolades APMP UK has earned recognise not just our chapter’s success, but the strength, professionalism, and impact of the community you are part of.

Over the last thirteen years, the APMP UK chapter has been honoured seven times with the prestigious Stephen P. Shipley "Chapter of the Year" Award for our exceptional leadership and commitment to member engagement. Recognised as a standout chapter globally, APMP UK’s dedicated volunteers and strategic initiatives have elevated our contribution to the bid and proposal profession, earning us this top accolade most recently in 2023. This achievement, alongside wins for the Chapter Communications Award in both 2019 and 2017, further highlighting our ongoing excellence.
Building on this success, APMP UK has also been shortlisted for a 2025 Association Excellence Award in the category Best Longstanding Association Event – Launched before 2005, celebrating the enduring impact of our annual conference, now known as BIDx® The Big One. Our annual conference, has been providing members the chance to come together each year since 2003. Over the years the event has grown from 80 attendees to over 300, has re-branded and adapted with the times. TBO, as we affectionately call it now, has given members the chance to showcase their knowledge, skills and experience through breakout speaker opportunities. It has seen us forge closer ties with the industry through sponsorship opportunities, and has always provided a safe space for our profession to come together for connection, learning and fun.
