format set by BIFA, for each of the categories entered. The submission should<br />
consist of a detailed description of a relevant service/project for each category,<br />

particular customer, or a more generic example of good practice.<br />

services and cost-saving initiatives. A limited amount of supporting documentation<br />
can be included. A preliminary judges’ meeting will take place to select four<br />
