The aim of the Delivery Partner Awards is to identify and celebrate the achievements and examples of good practice across the Delivery Partnership, including those who exemplify our values and the Delivery Partner Charter.

Partners can self-nominate or nominate members of their staff or volunteers. Members of the public can also nominate a Delivery Partner, staff member or volunteer.
