Real Impact.
Procurex Wales brings the GO Awards winning entries to life — hear directly from the teams behind Wales' most outstanding procurement achievements.
Three award-winning teams. Three remarkable challenges. One stage. These sessions go beyond the trophy — into the decisions, the pressure, and the results.
Featured Sessions
GO Awards Case Studies
Each session features the team behind the award-winning work, sharing what happened, how they responded, and what you can take back to your own organisation.

Caerphilly CBC & Simply Do · Ian Evans
Filling the Supplier Void Through the Live Supplier Directory
Traditional procurement tools were missing local businesses entirely. Caerphilly County Borough Council partnered with Simply Do to build an AI-powered solution that surfaces suppliers others can't find. Over 650 previously invisible businesses later — the results speak for themselves.
