SCTS procurement team wins ‘highly commended’ prize

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) procurement team has been highly commended in the ‘Procurement Team of the Year’ category award at this year’s GO Awards Scotland.

SCTS head of procurement, Derrick Welsh, and the procurement team came together to watch the online awards ceremony in a court room in Parliament House in Edinburgh, while adhering to social distancing rules.

Mr Welsh said: “I am absolutely delighted that we have received this award. Having only been at SCTS since June of this year, the previous head of procurement has to take some of the credit in bringing together such a brilliant and positive team. A brilliant team and well deserved recognition!”

SCTS chief finance officer, Richard Maconachie, said: “I’m absolutely delighted for the team and this well-deserved commendation recognises just how far our procurement function has come in a very short time.”

The GO Awards celebrate excellence and innovation in all aspects of procurement, recognising outstanding achievement from the public, private and third sectors.
