Northern Ireland-headquartered GRAHAM has been officially awarded the CIPS Procurement Excellence Standard, a globally recognised benchmark for excellence in procurement and supply chain management.

This prestigious accreditation is not easily attained—only 300 organisations worldwide have achieved the standard—placing GRAHAM among an elite group of companies demonstrating world-class procurement capability, governance, and strategic value.

The CIPS Corporate Accreditation reflects the strength, professionalism, and strategic value of the procurement function across the organisation. It is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and continuous improvement of GRAHAM’s procurement team, who have consistently demonstrated best-in-class practices in governance, ethics, sustainability, and value delivery.

More than a badge of recognition, the CIPS Procurement Excellence Standard is a rigorous assessment of how procurement contributes to organisational success. Achieving this accreditation confirms that GRAHAM operates with integrity, transparency, and efficiency in all procurement activities—and that the organisation is fully aligned with international best practices.

Gerard McKeever, Head of Procurement (Civil Engineering), commented:

“This recognition is a significant milestone for GRAHAM. It validates the strategic role procurement plays in driving value, managing risk, and supporting our wider business objectives and our Operations teams to deliver successful projects. I want to thank every member of the team for their commitment and professionalism throughout this journey.

“This achievement reinforces GRAHAM’s reputation as a trusted partner and industry leader, positioning the business strongly for continued growth and innovation. Congratulations to everyone involved in reaching this important milestone.”
