Partnerships
Strength through professional partnerships
As leaders in the field of purchasing and supply management, we work in partnership with other leading bodies to assist private, public and non-profit sector organisations in achieving purchasing best practice. Two of our key partners are the Institute of Quality Assurance and David Hutchens International Ltd.
The Chartered Quality Institute (CQI)
The CQI is the UK's leading body for the advancement of quality practices and a respected contributor to policy issues at a national and international level.The CQI is working with industry and government to educate people generally about the importance of quality and to bring about the better regulation of the process of assessing quality standards.
It is in the spirit of these sentiments that the IQA has endorsed our certification programme.
