Nevi is your beacon in business
About Nevi
Nevi is the professional association for procurement in the Netherlands. For more than 70 years, we have strengthened the profession through training, research and an engaged community. How you purchase determines far more than just the price of a product: every decision made by a procurement professional has an impact on the economy, sustainability and society. At Nevi, you can continue to develop your skills, stay sharp on current developments and connect with fellow professionals, whether you are at the start of your career or already further along.
How Nevi strengthens the profession
- Expertise development – knowledge gained through courses and training that can be applied directly in your work.
- Advocacy – representing the profession to government and the business community.
- Knowledge sharing – through research, publications and current themes that connect the profession with the society around you.
Our mission
Nevi strengthens the procurement profession by deepening knowledge, connecting people and increasing impact. We do this in practical ways:
- through accredited education and training programmes that help professionals make better decisions;
- through research and practical tools that can be directly applied in day-to-day work;
- and through a community of 6,500 members who share knowledge and experience.
In this way, the strategic role of procurement within organisations continues to grow, enabling the profession to contribute to fair supply chains, innovation and sustainable outcomes.
Nevi regards procurement as a strategic force for a sustainable future.
Our vision
We envision a future in which professional procurement is a strategic force within every organisation. A discipline that focuses not only on cost, but also on collaboration, innovation and sustainability. By sharing knowledge, connecting people and increasing influence, we work towards a procurement landscape that creates value for organisations and for society.
What roles exist?
The field of procurement and contract management includes many different positions and responsibilities. Companies and organisations also use a wide range of (international) titles for similar types of work. Below, we list several common examples.

Together with universities of applied sciences and research universities, we invest in the future of the profession.
