With leading figures in the industry on the judging panel, this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your company. Winners and highly commended entrants can also look forward to being featured in the press coverage surrounding the Awards and gaining the recognition within the industry that comes with achieving finalist status for one of these awards.
Grahame Steed, Managing Editor of GO magazine, said: “The calibre of individuals that we have recruited to the judging panel for this year’s GO Awards Scotland speaks volumes about the esteem in which this event is held. We are very grateful to each of them for providing us with their time and expertise, and hope that their involvement encourages all organisations that have bought for or supplied to the Scottish public sector to submit an entry.”
The Awards – organised by public procurement experts BiP Solutions, publishers of GO magazine – will be held on the first evening of the Procurex Scotland 2009 conference, which will take place at the SECC in Glasgow on 28 and 29 October.
