Charitable Status
CIPS not-for-profit status means that its operating surplus is reinvested in supporting the profession.  CIPS promotes and develops standards, skills and abilities, offering best practice tools and techniques and leading edge thinking for everyone in procurement and supply management.
Awarding Body
CIPS is “recognised by the regulatory authorities for the purpose of awarding accredited qualifications” – as per the QCA Code of Practice.

CIPS FOR BUSINESS
No matter what their size, sector or geography, organisations are consistently telling us that they are increasingly focussing on achieving
SUSTAINABLE VALUE FROM THEIR SUPPLIER BASE
Key issues keeping CPOs awake at night are:
1. Do their teams have the professional skills to spend their money wisely? 2. Is there a problem lurking in their supply chain and, if there is, can they fix it? 3. Can their teams keep improving and keep delivering the results they're being challenged to achieve?
CIPS has responded to this by clearly aligning our business portfolio to meet this trio of needs, as shown in our CIPS for Business triangle.

36. Procurement Leadership
Chartered Status
Raising the standard of procurement and supply
Become an expert
Signify to the world your commitment to excellence with Chartered Status
Chartered Status is linked to the CIPS Charter and approved by Her Majesty the Queen.
Its purpose is to demonstrate the highest level of professionalism and commitment to the profession and is equivalent to a postgraduate diploma.
Current MCIPS and FCIPS members can apply
It reinforces your qualifications, CPD status, ethical awareness and understanding of current practices
Why have we done this?
There is a clear and growing demand from members for greater recognition for the profession
The next step for CIPS is to align Chartered Status with other chartered bodies (such as accounting, surveying and engineering).
Further notes if required
Chartered Status will be the next step up from MCIPS. It will not affect the status of MCIPS and indeed the major initiative on licensing the profession is built around MCIPS being fixed as the global standard. The other significant benefit of Chartered Status will be making CPD a requirement for members to maintain the designation. This will ensure our members keep up to date with their knowledge and thinking.
Changing market demands
Increased scrutiny on the sourcing of goods and services brought about by recent supply chain procurement failure
Examples include food chain contamination and loss of lives
Cal for improved accountability to regain public trust and confidence
Drive for transparency, reduction in fraud and corruption and a drive for ethical and accountable procurement

37. Chartered Procurement and Supply Professional

CPD not mandated or evidenced
CPD mandated– minimum of silver CPD status per year
Ethical Procurement and Supply e-learning and test optional

FCIPS will continue to be the highest grade of membership
Achieving Chartered Status adds further recognition to your current CIPS membership grade, signifying your achievement as a high-level professional.
Chartered status in an enhancement of MCIPS and FCIPS grades of membership.
How can I achieve silver or gold CPD Status?
There are three categories of CPD activity:
> Knowledge – improving your theoretical and practical knowledge of procurement
> Skills – improving your ability to do your job as a procurement professional
> Personal development – improving non-procurement related knowledge and skills
To achieve silver or gold CPD status, you must record CPD hours in every category during your CPD year. However there are both a minimum and a maximum number of CPD hours for the personal development category which can contribute towards your CPD status.
Simply ensure you record your learning within your CPD account and the CPD tool will do the rest. The CPD tool will calculate how many CPD hours you have recorded in each CPD category and it will show you a summary of how many CPD hours you have recorded in each CPD category, and a summary of how many CPD hours contribute towards your CPD status.

39. Procurement Leadership

Annual subscription
Chartered Status in not a permanent award and each year members will be expected to meet certain criteria to retain it.
Members need to renew their annual membership subscription – there is no additional cost to whatever the current MCIPS or FCIPS annual subscription rate is at that time.
Must complete Silver Status CPD - this can be verified in a candidates MyCIPS on line account. Hours are accumulated in line with a members renewal notice, therefore at each renewal date CPD will be reviewed by CIPS to ensure those with Chartered Status have recorded a minimum of Silver Status CPD hours at time of renewal.
Must have an up to date certificate of achievement in CIPS Ethical Procurement and Supply. There will inevitably be some variances in completion dates on the Ethics test and when a member renewal date is due these will all be aligned into one renewal date following the first renewal after Chartered Status is awarded.
