Leading public procurement solutions provider BiP Solutions
has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best Performing
Business category in the Glasgow Business Awards.
A highlight of the Glasgow business calendar, the Glasgow
Business Awards are delivered by the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and Scottish Enterprise Glasgow. Award winners will be announced
at a prize-giving ceremony in Glasgow on 24 October 2007.
The announcement of BiP as a finalist in these Awards follows
on quickly from the company’s recent success in the
National Business Awards for Scotland 2007, where it was named
as the AXA Small to Medium-Sized Business of the Year.
The aim of the Scottish Enterprise Glasgow Award for Best
Performing Business is to recognise businesses which have
successfully grown their organisation, demonstrating key characteristics
such as strong leadership, a clearly defined vision for achieving
growth through strategic objectives and making a positive
contribution to the local and Scottish economy.
BiP - which was established in 1984 to facilitate business
between the public and private sectors - has made an extremely
positive and valid contribution to the local Glasgow and wider
national Scottish economy. BiP has grown and developed exponentially,
with more than 160 staff at its Shawfield offices, providing
employment opportunities and career development for both local
people and those from beyond Glasgow.
The company is recognised as one of Europe’s leading
providers of procurement solutions and market intelligence
services, with thousands of public and private sector clients
in the UK, Europe and beyond. It also provides events management,
accreditation and consultancy services, and has used its knowledge
and experience on behalf of a range of high-profile clients,
including the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory
Reform, the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office, as well
as a number of Scottish public sector organisations.
International clients include the European Defence Agency,
the United Arab Emirates Army and Kenya’s Ministry of
Education.
Grahame Steed, Media Director at BiP Solutions, said:
“BiP Solutions is delighted to have been announced as
a finalist in these Awards, and particularly in a category
that recognises exceptional business performance. The status
of finalist demonstrates the quality of BiP’s people
and its services, and is a great recognition of the achievements
of the company and its entire staff.”
