It, however, did not spell out what changes have been proposed for the Party charter.
Several professors with the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC contacted by China Daily on Sunday night said they believed the amendment will encompass the Party's "latest theoretical innovations". They declined to elaborate.
The last time it was amended dates back to the 17th National Congress five years ago.
The plenum announced that the Central Committee had agreed on a decision made by the Politburo in September to expel Bo Xilai, former Party chief of Chongqing, from the Party for "severe disciplinary breaches".
Bo was stripped of Party membership on Sept 28.
The 63-year-old was removed from public office and his suspected law violations and evidence were transferred to judicial organs for handling.
Also reaffirmed at the meeting was the expelling of former railways minister Liu Zhijun from the Party in May for corruption following the high-speed train collision that claimed 40 lives and injured another 172 near the eastern city of Wenzhou in July 2011.
Alongside the plenum, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection held a two-day meeting, pledging to intensify anti-corruption efforts.
The commission released a statement after the meeting, warning that anti-corruption is a "long-term, complicated and tough battle", according to a Xinhua report.
