The award was made in recognition of the collaboration of the three organisations on Prudential's joint procurement of total facilities management and catering services for its portfolio of offices across the UK earlier this year. The Ashurst team on the project was led by partner Chris Bates, global head of Ashurst's strategic sourcing group.
Organised by The Global Sourcing Association (GSA), the industry association and professional body for the global sourcing industry, the GSA UK Awards for Best Practice in Strategic Sourcing recognise the best examples of innovative and creative work in the strategic sourcing industry.
Chris Bates comments:
"We are delighted to have received this accolade, which reflects significant effort on the part of all of the organisations involved. We continue to advise on some of the most complex and significant projects in the market and our track record in advising on deals of this nature demonstrates the breadth and quality of our practice and reinforces our position as operating at the forefront of the sourcing market."
