Go Awards – Submit your entries

GO Awards 2022

Organisations operating within the UK’s transport and infrastructure sectors are being encouraged to submit entries for the UK National GO Awards 2025/26, which remain the nation’s premier platform for recognising innovation and excellence in public procurement.

The GO Awards, which are free to enter, serve to identify and celebrate outstanding achievements by individuals, teams, and organisations responsible for delivering significant impacts across the public sector, with the transport and infrastructure industries demonstrating a strong history of success in this arena.

Notable previous recipients from the sector have included Transport for Greater Manchester, Translink, National Highways, and Transport Scotland. These organisations have not only received industry-wide recognition, but have also leveraged the awards as a platform for showcasing exemplary procurement practices and advancing the reputation of their procurement teams within the wider sector. Participation in the GO Awards provides organisations with the opportunity to demonstrate operational excellence, share effective strategies and innovation with their peers, and highlight the crucial role procurement plays in the successful delivery of connectivity and infrastructure projects.

Submissions to the awards are assessed by a panel of senior procurement leaders from across the country, ensuring that entries are rigorously evaluated against the highest standards in public sector procurement. Entrants benefit from national visibility, the ability to benchmark their services against those of leading UK counterparts, and the prospect of enhancing team morale through formal recognition of their efforts.

The deadline for submitting entries to the 2025/26 competition is Friday, 27 March 2026. All finalists and award recipients will be acknowledged at the gala ceremony, which is scheduled to take place at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool on Thursday, 18 June 2026. The event represents a significant networking opportunity, bringing together many of the most influential procurement professionals in the UK public sector, as well as offering suppliers, contractors, and partners a chance to engage directly with sector leaders.

For procurement teams seeking to showcase their expertise and elevate their industry profile, the UK National GO Awards 2025/26 provide a clear route to recognition, benchmarking, and sector-wide engagement. Interested parties are advised to begin preparing their submissions promptly in anticipation of the approaching deadline.
