Pensions Expert is proud to present the 19th annual Pension and Investment Provider Awards. The PIPAs recognise excellence among providers of products and services to UK workplace pension schemes. The three key criteria used to adjudicate the awards are performance, innovation and service standards. Winners will be announced at an exclusive black-tie dinner and presentation ceremony in May at the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel.

A panel of judges are picked by the editorial team based on their expertise within the industry, reflecting a spread of companies and groups.
There is a minimum of 10 judges including at least one from the editorial staff. Each category has at least two judges leading the other judges through the entries to test against the criteria.
Conflicts: Any judge that either comes from a company/organisation that has entered, or has competitors that have entered, a particular category must exclude themselves from the judging of that category.
Methodology: Once each lead judge has explained their top three, and other judges have fed in their views, the panel as a whole debates the entries and decides the shortlist and the winner.
All judging is done on the basis of criteria, but judges are allowed to take into account their own experience of entrants’ products and services.
For the Industry Champion award, each judge will nominate someone who made a special contribution to the industry. The winner will be decided collectively by the judges, led by the Pensions Expert editorial team.
This debate will focus on the work done in the interest of savers, schemes or providers by the individual concerned.
