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.
