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 purchased / 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$ 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 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 R 10 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 R 10 million (ten million Rands) is to cater for multiple contract for the same goods, works or services; renewal contracts and multiple suppliers for the same goods, works and services under the same contract as provided for in paragraphs 1.1 (b) to 1.1 (d) above. 3. BID SUBMISSION AND CONTRACT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF BIDDERS AND SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS (CONTRACTORS) 3.1 Bidders are required to sign and submit this Standard Bidding Document (SBD 5) together with the bid on the closing date and time. 3.2 In order to accommodate multiple contracts for the same goods, works or services; renewal contracts and multiple suppliers for the same goods, works or services under the same contract as indicated in sub-paragraphs 1.1 (b) to 1.1 (d) 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 R 10 million (ten million Rands), to contact and furnish the DTI with the following information: • Bid / contract number • Description of the goods, works or services • Date on which the contract was accepted • Name, address and contact details of the government institution • Value of the contract • Imported content of the contract, if possible. 3.3 The information required in paragraph 3.2 above must be sent to the Department of Trade and Industry, Private Bag X84, Pretoria, 0001 for the attention of Mr. Elias Malapane within five (5) working days after award of the contract. Mr. Malapane may be contacted on telephone (012) 394-1401, facsimile (012) 394- 2401 or e-mail at Elias@thetdi.gov.za 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; c. The contractor will submit a performance guarantee to the DTI; d. The contractor will submit a business concept for consideration and approval by the DTI; e. Upon approval of the business concept by the DTI, the contractor will submit detailed business plans outlining the business 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. 4.2 The NIP obligation agreement is between the DTI and the successful bidder (contractor) and, therefore, does not involve the purchasing institution.
