About
The Caribbean Procurement Institute (CPI) is a social enterprise incorporated as a limited liability company in Trinidad and Tobago in December 2006 serving policy makers and practitioners in the field of procurement. Since 2006 CPI, through its conferences, workshops, seminars, programmes and research has established itself as the premier resource for specialist procurement education and expertise geared towards the delivery and maximisation of real strategic and sustainable value in the region. CPI has established a faculty of leading international and regional academics, professionals and experts to design and deliver its training programmes and provide specialist consultancy services. In 2008 CPI sponsored the non-profit voluntary Caribbean Association of Procurement Professionals (CAPP) now a member of the International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Chain Management (IFPSM) and is actively supporting that organisation in setting entry criteria for the profession, educating members about its Code of Conduct and certifying members. In 2013 CPI launched its Social Impact Programmes (SIPs) to foster the growth and development of the social economy in the Caribbean through Socially Responsible Public Procurement (SRPP).

About CAPP
In March 2008, CPI in partnership with the International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management (IFPSM) sponsored the establishment of the non profit Caribbean Association of Procurement Professionals (CAPP) to facilitate the continuous development and distribution of procurement knowledge in order to elevate and advance the procurement profession in the region. The association continues to grow with over 200 members from throughout the Caribbean. CPI and CAPP have as primary objectives the promotion of high standards of professionalism, ethics and integrity among all those engaged in the function of procurement, increasing the appreciation of the value of procurement good practice by raising the profile of procurement professionals, encouraging learning, knowledge sharing and regional consensus building, establishing and implementing training and certification standards and requirements for the procurement profession and promoting culturally relevant reform in procurement regimes consistent with established best practice.
