The
Government Opportunities (GO) Excellence
in Public Procurement Awards are fast becoming
the most sought-after awards in the sector. The reason
is simple – GO is the only magazine
in the UK dedicated to public procurement, so when
it gives an Award, it's doing so on the basis of in-depth
knowledge of the marketplace.
With
categories covering Individual and Team Excellence,
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility,
the GO Awards Scotland reflect many of the key
areas of focus within public procurement. Recognising
that procurement is about buyers and suppliers
working together, the GO Awards Scotland also include
categories for Best Service and Healthcare Supplier
Award – for
which entries from SME organisations are encouraged.
The GO/McClelland Collaborative Procurement Award,
endorsed by John McClelland - the author of the Review
of Public Procurement in Scotland – will highlight
examples of best practice in this important area.
The
highlight of the GO Awards Scotland is the
coveted Outstanding Contribution Award - presented
to those who have played a significant role in effecting
positive change within the Scottish business and/or
public sector procurement community.
