Setting the bar

Procurement teams in the construction sector have come under more pressure during the Covid-19 crisis, to manage labour shortages, make sites safe and mitigate disrupted supply chains.

In order that we could give construction specific, world-class procurement support, we established the CIPS Construction Leaders Group. Made up of senior leaders from major firms, they work with our experts to drive excellence in construction procurement and supply.

CIPS led a Working Group set up to tackle failings identified in the Hackitt Review, Building a Safer Future - including poor procurement and commercial practice, and an over-focus on profit at the expense of safety and risk mitigation.

CIPS is commited to supporting individuals to develop and maintain their knowledge in procurement and supply.

MCIPS status indicates your procurement proficiency to other professionals and employers.

By combining your experience with studying CIPS qualifications, you can demonstrate your commitment to your career and development even if you change sectors down the line.

A complete procurement and supply learning programme for the construction sector. CIPS Syndicated Corporate Award Programme is based on CIPS core global syllabus and is tailored specifically to the construction sector.
