Program Professional Framework

CILT Certified Procurement Professional (CPP)

Program Overview

A solid grasp of the end-to-end procurement cycle is what separates order processing from professional purchasing. «CILT Certified Procurement Professional (CPP)» covers that cycle in depth: identifying and specifying needs, procurement planning, market research, choosing sourcing methods, running RFQs and tenders, evaluating offers, negotiating and awarding contracts, managing supplier performance and closing out contracts. It addresses ethics and conflict of interest, government procurement rules such as Saudi Arabia's Government Tenders and Procurement Law and the Etimad platform, and procurement KPIs.
