GO Lifetime Achievement Award
The GO Lifetime Achievement Award is a special recognition for those who have dedicated the majority of their career to advancing public procurement. As such, it is not an Award that is given lightly, or even at all if it is felt there is no candidate significantly deserving of it. Previous recipients have demonstrated the extremely high standards set for this Award, which is focused not just on outstanding achievement in the short term but on excellence, commitment, dedication and advancement sustained over many years.
GO Lifetime Achievement Award recipients are a special type of person – those who have given more to the profession than they have received from it.

2010 – Peter Coates CBE, Commercial Director, Department of Health
