Support for the professionalisation of public procurement
Since its foundation over three decades ago, SETYM International has established itself as a pioneer in supporting and developing the skills of those involved in public procurement. Public procurement is vital to the efficient functioning and growth of economies. It touches the very foundations of our societies, profoundly influencing the allocation of resources, the implementation of public policies, the well-being of communities and the preservation of the environment.
Professional Accreditation in Public Procurement
Our partnership with the École des sciences de la gestion de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (ESG UQAM) underlines our determination to professionalise the public procurement function. Together, we have developed a professional accreditation program in public procurement, which is designed to equip professionals with the skills and professional ethics required for effective, transparent management in this field.
Creating this certification also involved developing a training programme to prepare candidates to sit the accreditation exams, designing an electronic exam system, defining administrative processes to manage applications and renewals, and developing a public directory of accredited managers.
The SETYM International team relies on decades of expertise to help your institution develop national strategies for developing procurement competencies, set up and maintain national training programmes for public procurement graduates, educate trainers and administrative teams, and establish a professional association.
Innovations Toward the Professionalisation of Public Procurement
SETYM International has created an innovative web directory to guide and promote public procurement. This directory helps institutions and donors in search of specialised skills to easily find qualified professionals via an advanced search tool, which filters results by skills, country and language. This tool is publicly accessible on our website, making it easy to get in touch with potential collaborators.
Our team and representatives seize every opportunity to promote this directory to recruiters, which affirms our role as a leader in the professionalization of public procurement. With over 35 years’ experience, SETYM International remains steadfastly forward-looking, embracing innovative strategies to meet the evolving needs of our partners.

Our Commitment to Professionalising Public Procurement
SETYM International’s commitment to excellence and innovation is the result of our unwavering determination to accompany public organisations worldwide, as they embrace a future where public procurement is synonymous with integrity, efficiency and social progress. We have already supported several public procurement regulatory authorities in Africa to professionalise and institutionalise the body of public procurement specialists.
Benin
Senegal
Tunisia
Morocco
Benin
As part of PAGIPG, a project financed by the World Bank, SETYM fulfilled a mandate to support the professionalisation and institutionalisation of the body of public procurement specialists. This project had three objectives: to provide training with a view to award accreditation to 250 public procurement professionals, to assess the quality of training and diplomas offered in the field, and to analyse the feasibility of creating a national professional order for public procurement.
Senegal
In partnership with the Autorité de Régulation des Marchés Publics (ARMP), SETYM International carried out a feasibility study for the establishment of a range of post-graduate public procurement training programmes. This major effort toward professionalisation has resulted in the accreditation of nearly 300 executives from various ministries, organisations and donor-funded projects in Senegal. MSPM® accreditation was implemented to standardise the role of coordinator/head/manager of the procurement unit. As a result, the position must now be filled by a certified individual, with recruitment simplified by harmonising the job profile through the standardisation of required skills.
Tunisia
To the satisfaction of the Tunisian government’s Haute Instance de la Commande Publique (HAICOP), SETYM International successfully fulfilled a mandate to develop a national public procurement training strategy.
Morocco
The SETYM International team successfully fulfilled a mandate to organise a capacity-building cycle for local authorities in the field of public procurement and management, based on the new public procurement decree.
