In a defining moment for the procurement sector, BDO Singapore and BELLS Institute of Higher Learning unveiled the BDO-BELLS Digital Procurement Academy at the Procurement igNite event, officiated by Mr. Desmond Tan, Senior Minister of State, Prime Minister’s Office.

This strategic collaboration marks a bold step forward in advancing Singapore’s talent development agenda — bringing together industry insight, digital innovation, and world-class education to upskill procurement professionals for a new era.

Meeting Industry Demands Head-On
With global supply chains becoming increasingly complex and tech-driven, the need for professionals who can lead with agility, data intelligence, and ethical foresight has never been greater. The Academy was established to bridge this gap — offering a dynamic blend of practical digital skills, strategic mindset development, and globally recognised certifications.

Co-Created with BDO, Backed by CIPS
Developed in partnership with BDO Singapore and with academic backing from CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply) as Knowledge Partner, the programme reflects real-world needs while maintaining academic rigour. Learners can expect hands-on learning, up-to-date tools, and deep exposure to global procurement best practices.

From digital transformation to responsible sourcing, the BDO-BELLS Digital Procurement Academy is primed to shape the leaders of tomorrow.
