Queen Mary wins big at the 2025 National GO Awards
Our Procurement Team and team director Bahar Shahin won both Procurement Team of the Year (Health) and Individual of the Year Award respectively at the national GO Awards 2024/25.

A brilliant night for Queen Mary University, which took home two awards from the National GO Awards 2024-25: Procurement Team of the Year Award ‒ Education & Other Organisations and Individual of the Year to Bahar Shahin.
These awards recognised QM Procurement's hard work and the implementation of their standardised, measurable social value evaluation system.
Colin Bailey, President and Principal of QM, had this to say:
Organisations are only as good as its people, and we are very lucky to have amazing people at Queen Mary University of London. I'm so proud of our Procurement Team who won the 'Procurement Team of the Year' and our Director Bahar Shahin MCIPS (Chartered) wining 'Individual of the Year' at the GO Awards. Well done to the team - so well deserved!
Eama Khanon, Head of Procurement said:
These two awards represent two sides of the same coin. Behind a visionary and successful leader is a team contributing their unique skills to bring that vision to life
