The GO Awards are a unique opportunity to showcase the Power of Procurement. The innovations, initiatives and achievements of organisations that are leading the way for public procurement in Scotland. This year, four new award categories have been added to reflect the diversity of procurement across Scotland’s public sector. The awards are open to public, private and third sector organisations.
To give entrants some inspiration, we’re sharing some photographs and quotes from previous winners:
Social Value award – Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, NHS Grampian & NEOS Networks. The team will be absolutely delighted! There’s been a lot of hard work put into everything into the last couple of years so absolutely delighted to be recognised for this.
Best Procurement Delivery award – Scotland Excel. We’re shocked! It’s fabulous, it’s a recognition of the team at Scotland Excel and the hard work that they do.
COVID-19 Outstanding Response Award – Private Sector Organisations award – Sykes Global Services Limited, part of the Sitel Group & NHS National Services Scotland. It shows what the public and private sector can do when they come together, and it now gives us the benefit of having proved a concept and we can now go forward and apply this to other areas.
Continuous Improvement Award – City of Edinburgh Council. It’s amazing to win and we’re really proud of ourselves. It makes it all absolutely worth it.
COVID-19 Outstanding Response Award – Public Sector Organisations & GO Excellence Award – Scottish Government Digital ‒ Key project sponsor & Delivery partners NHS National Services Scotland & Public Health Scotland. There were so many factors involved in the success of this project. The most important being the collaboration across all the sectors within the public sector. We had policy makers, procurement, information governance, digital and security, NHS, PHS and more working really closely together to deliver a fantastic product.
Procurement Team of the Year award – Glasgow City Council. We are absolutely delighted, really surprised and quite emotional! We have a fantastic team and work very collaboratively and we’re all very passionate about procurement. It’s such a privilege to win.
