We are pleased to announce that Her Majesty’s Privy Council has agreed the recently proposed changes to CIPS Charter and Bye-Laws. This means we can now change the Institute’s name to The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply and from January 2015 CIPS can offer Chartered Procurement and Supply Professional Status for suitably qualified and experienced members. This is excellent news and places us in line with many other chartered bodies offering Chartered Status. This is the result of a long period of discussion, development and consultation with a wide range of stakeholders including the global membership, CIPS Congress and the Board of Trustees, as well as procurement and supply management leaders in public, private and third sectors and other professional bodies. FCIPS will remain the most senior membership grade and the advanced professional licence, and MCIPS will remain the benchmark grade for qualified professionals and professional licence. We’re pleased that the new Chartered Status will be an opportunity for members to enhance their lifelong learning and we invite members to register their interest in readiness for the January launch. David Noble, Group CEO, CIPS said, “This is a huge milestone achieved in our licensing journey and a fantastic outcome for our global membership. “The profession is currently experiencing many challenges and demands and keeping up with these developments requires the best professionals dedicated to maintaining their own professional status.” Richard Masser, Chairman of CIPS Global Board of Trustees, “It’s clear to see that we hold an enormous amount of responsibility in our roles, responsible for the safe and successful management of a whole host of complex supply chains that are increasingly operating on a global scale. “We can no longer accept poor practice or performance and the good news is we can make a difference by ensuring that MCIPS and Chartered Status are positioned firmly as the professional licences for this profession – recognising excellence, appropriate skill and ability.“
