Recognising the Best of Business Intelligence

For 20 years, the Best of Business Intelligence (BOBI) Awards have celebrated the people and projects driving excellence, innovation and impact across healthcare business insights.

The BOBIs set the standard for what great looks like, recognising the people and projects that push boundaries, elevate insights and make a meaningful difference to patients, customers and our industry, through insight generation.

Entries for the BOBI Awards 2026 are now closed.

Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry celebrating excellence, innovation and impact across healthcare business intelligence.

Real-life Submission entries will now progress through the judging process.

What’s New for 2026

To mark our 20th year, the BOBIs are evolving, with refreshed categories, updated criteria and a broader scope that reflects how our industry works today.

From 2026 onwards, projects are eligible if they are led by or involve substantial contributions from UK-based teams, even when the impact extends to other markets. This change ensures the Awards continue to recognise the full breadth of UK expertise shaping global healthcare business insights.

We’re also introducing the BOBI Hall of Fame, recognising individuals whose lasting contributions have helped shape business insights over the past two decades.

With clearer entry guidance, greater transparency on scoring, and new opportunities to showcase projects, the 2026 Awards are designed to make it easier than ever to share your best work.
