The National Industrial Participation (NIP) Programme, which is applicable to all government procurement contracts that have an

imported content, became effective on the 1 September 1996. The NIP policy and guidelines were fully endorsed by Cabinet on 30

April 1997. In terms of the Cabinet decision, all state and parastatal purchases / lease contracts (for goods, works and services)

entered into after this date, are subject to the NIP requirements. NIP is obligatory and therefore must be complied with. The Industrial

Participation Secretariat (IPS) of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is charged with the responsibility of administering the

programme.

1. PILLARS OF THE PROGRAMME

1.1. The NIP obligation is benchmarked on the imported content of the contract. Any contract having an imported content equal to

or exceeding US$ 10 million or other currency equivalent to US$ 10 million will have a NIP obligation. This threshold of US$ 10

million can be reached as follows:

(a) Any single contract with imported content exceeding US$10 million.

Or

(b) Multiple contracts for the same goods, works or services each with imported content exceeding US$3 million awarded

to one seller over a 2-year period which in total exceeds US$10 million.

Or

(c) A contract with a renewable option clause, where should the option be exercised the total value of the imported content

will exceed US$10 million.

Or

(d) Multiple suppliers of the same goods, works or services under the same contract, where the value of the imported content

of each allocation is equal to or exceeds US$ 3 million worth of goods, works or services to the same government

institution, which in total over a two (2) year period exceeds US$10 million.

1.2. The NIP obligation applicable to suppliers in respect of sub-paragraphs 1.1 (a) to 1.1 (c) above will amount to 30 % of the

imported content whilst suppliers in respect of paragraph 1.1 (d) shall incur 30% of the total NIP obligation on a pro-rata basis.

1.3. To satisfy the NIP obligation, the DTI would negotiate and conclude agreements such as investments, joint ventures, sub-

contracting, licensee production, export promotion, sourcing arrangements and research and development (R&D) with partners

or suppliers.

1.4. A period of seven years has been identified as the time frame within which to discharge the obligation

2. REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY

2.1. In order to ensure effective implementation of the programme, successful bidders (contractors) are required to, immediately

after the award of a contract that is in excess of R10 million (ten million Rands), submit details of such a contract to the DTI for

reporting purposes.

2.2. The purpose for reporting details of contracts in excess of the amount of R10 million (ten million Rands) is to cater for multiple

contracts for the same goods, works or services; renewable contracts and multiple suppliers for the same goods, works or

services under the same contract as provided for in paragraphs 1.1. (b) to 1.1. (d) above.

above and to enable the DTI in determining the NIP obligation, successful bidders (contractors) are required, immediately

after being officially notified about any successful bid with a value in excess of R10 million (ten million Rands), to contact and

be contacted on telephone (012) 394 1401, facsimile (012) 394 2401 or e-mail at [email protected] for further details about

the programme.

4. PROCESS TO SATISFY THE NIP OBLIGATION

4.1. Once the successful bidder (contractor) has made contact with and furnished the DTI with the information required, the following

steps will be followed:

(a) the contractor and the DTI will determine the NIP obligation;

(b) the contractor and the DTI will sign the NIP obligation agreement;

concepts;

(f) the contractor will implement the business plans; and

(g) the contractor will submit bi-annual progress reports on approved plans to the DTI.

purchasing institution.
