How the Nomination / Call for Entry Process Works

Nominations / call for entry for the Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards UK 2026 are open to all suppliers to the manufacturing industry. Anyone can submit a nomination, including solution providers themselves, industry professionals, or consultants.

Our awards are overseen by an Advisory Board, who help shape the categories and review nominations alongside Manufacturing Today editors.

You will be notified once the award categories are finalised and when the nomination / call for entry stage opens, including the submission deadline.

Once you have chosen a category to enter, we recommend preparing a 500-word entry outlining your company’s or product/service’s achievements and innovations.

The Advisory Board and editors will be looking for detailed insights, including the type of solution, efficiency, integration effort, supported functions, user types, and beneficial outcomes. For consultancy categories, entries should provide examples of outstanding service or innovation over the past year.

Shortlisting

Manufacturing Today's editors will work closely with our Advisory Board to review all submissions and ensure that all shortlisted companies and products meet the criteria for recognition.

Voting

Once the shortlist is finalised, our Manufacturing Today readership will be invited to vote. Solution providers are kindly asked not to vote for themselves, as these votes will not be counted.

Winners Announcement

Winners of the Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards UK 2026 will be notified and celebrated as part of a digital awards campaign, including a winners' report, editorial coverage, and social media promotion.
