Grahame Steed, Managing Editor of Awards sponsor Government Opportunities (GO), said: 鈥淥nce again the National GO Awards have set the standard for public procurement across the country. In difficult times, it is clear to see that buyers and suppliers are rising to the challenge of delivering better services for less, and the GO Awards are the perfect way of sharing and showcasing some of the best initiatives from the past year.
