New Era of Skills Development: BELLS and BDO Join Forces to Launch Digital Procurement Academy

BELLS Institute of Higher Learning and BDO Singapore have officially launched the BDO-BELLS Digital Procurement Academy at the Procurement igNite event on 7th July 2025, witnessed by Guest of Honour, Mr. Desmond Tan, Senior Minister of State, Prime Minister’s Office.

This groundbreaking partnership marks a significant milestone in Singapore’s upskilling landscape, with the Academy set to become a hub for innovation, global best practices, and digital transformation in the procurement sector.

As the world of procurement rapidly evolves, BELLS recognises the growing demand for professionals who are not only digitally literate but also capable of leading ethical, strategic, and data-driven decisions across global supply chains.

About The Academy

The BDO-BELLS Digital Procurement Academy is a future-forward initiative designed to empower procurement professionals with digital competencies, strategic thinking, and globally recognised certifications.

The academy, co-developed with BDO Singapore and supported by CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply) as the Knowledge Partner, blends industry relevance with academic rigour. From practical tools to forward-thinking frameworks, the Academy aims to empower procurement professionals to not just adapt — but to thrive and lead in the digital era.

It is built precisely to meet this demand — equipping learners with future-ready digital competencies, strategic acumen, and globally recognised certifications.

The future of procurement is digital, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of shaping that future.
