Yes, the same Public Procurement Competency Framework anchors the competency learning modules, the Pathways certificates, and the exam content of the NIGP-CPP certification. And several of the focus areas in the Public Procurement Competency Framework align with the UPPCC’s Body of Knowledge such as: Planning and Analysis, Sourcing and Solicitation, Contract Administration. These focus areas incorporate 17 of the 33 competencies. Just as the current NIGP core curriculum prepares candidates who are seeking their UPPCC certification, the competency modules under the Framework do the same – while earning competency badges along the way for instant recognition.
