Celebrating the best in public procurement.

Since the postponement of the highly anticipated UK National Government Opportunities (GO) Excellence in Public Procurement Awards, the announcement of this year’s outright winners and commended organisations from across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland has been put on hold. However, the wait is now almost over, as this year’s ceremony will be using innovative and interactive technology to bring the Awards live and online.

Even before COVID-19, public procurement across the UK was rapidly evolving as part of its transformation and playing a vital role within the delivery of public services. Now, against the backdrop of a global pandemic, the stakes are even higher. Procurement is front page news, and as the crisis evolves into something resembling normality, public service delivery will be at the forefront of economic recovery.

That’s why the UK National GO Awards matter now more than ever. It’s now time to recognise the tireless work and endeavour that underpins the delivery of critical services; to showcase the innovation and ingenuity that ensure public spend creates lasting social and economic benefit. Also, to mark the extensive collaborations and partnerships that exist across supply chains whether to combat COVID-19 or deliver on the many other expectations of the UK’s citizens.

Recognition matters – not just as an appreciation of a job well done, but to share best practice and raise standards still further.

The finalists across the UK have been announced and the virtual stage is now set for the announcement of this year’s National highly commenced and winning organisations. Join us online to be part of this innovative and interactive Awards and recognition experience. Free registration is now available.
