Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply, UK Certifications
Procurement and Supply Management involves buying the goods and services required for an organisation to deliver value to the customers in terms of products and services. Hence, buying the right Products, with right Quality, from the right Vendors, at the right Time and for the right Location are primordial factors for the success of an organisation. According to CIPS, UK procurement makes about 70% of a companies’ revenue. A small saving in such a large volume will automatically add to the bottom line of the organisation. A company’s strength in procurement and supply is often viewed as a competitive advantage as they would be able to offer better products at a lower price to the customer.
Based on your academic qualification and experience, you can start with one of the certification levels – L2, L3 & L4.
