CPE Procurement Certification

The procurement officer can ultimately enable their organization to obtain the greatest value for the money that is spent. A procurement officer has many tools to learn and master, but few are as important as the solicitation process. On average, solicitations account for 80% of an organization’s external spend, which makes this core competency so important to master.
