GO Awards Wales – officially supported by the Welsh Government – recognise the achievement and successes of all involved in the delivery of Welsh public sector services, whether from the public, private or third sectors. Judged by leading procurement figures from across Wales and the UK, these are the Awards everyone wants to win.

In recent years, Wales has established itself as a world leader in delivering innovative and creative solutions to the myriad challenges facing the public sector. Through a robust commitment to digital transformation, Wales has pioneered the implementation of cutting-edge technologies in public services, enhancing efficiency and accessibility. The Welsh Government’s focus on collaborative approaches has fostered strong partnerships between the public and private sectors, driving advancements in healthcare, education, and social services.

As the profile of public sector procurement and its associated supply chain continues to rise, it is more important than ever to recognise and learn from the best examples of public procurement and delivery.

Since 2002 the GO Excellence in Public Procurement Awards have showcased organisations and individuals who have led the way in public procurement best practice across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Wales is always a huge success, with many winners going to enjoy further success at the GO Awards National, which will next be held in Liverpool in May 2025.

GO Awards Wales 2024/25 Ceremony will take place on 5 November 2024, at the Marriott, Cardiff.
