The Partnership for Public Procurement was founded in 2011 by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply (CIPS) and The Institute for Public Procurement (NIGP) to apply our combined strength to foster a common international standard of public procurement practice.

The Partnership will support the needs of public sector procurement officials across the world, providing educational resources, organizational development and transformation services. Future developments will enable us to extend the capabilities of procurement practitioners across all levels of experience and organizational maturity.
