The president shall publicly receive a specially designed trophy and a certificate for his outstanding leadership which has transformed Ghana’s procurement landscape.

Additionally, Minister of State in charge of Public Procurement, Ms. Adwoa Safo, will be recognised at the awards ceremony for her role in Promoting Sustainable Procurement through laudable procurement initiatives, such as the procurement quota to women initiatives as well as eliminating corruption and fraudulent procurement processes.
