National Industrial Participation (NIP) Programme

• Applies to government and parastatal procurement contracts for goods, works or services that carry imported content.
• A NIP obligation arises once imported content reaches US$10 million, whether through a single contract, through multiple contracts of more than US$3 million each awarded to one seller over two years, through a renewable-option contract, or through multiple suppliers under one contract each allocated US$3 million or more to the same institution over two years.
• Obligation value: 30% of the imported content; where several suppliers share one contract, 30% of the total obligation is apportioned pro rata.
• Discharge period: seven years.
• The obligation is met through arrangements such as investments, joint ventures, sub-contracting, licensee production, export promotion, sourcing and research and development.

• NIP obligation: 30% of the imported content of the contract.
• A performance guarantee must be lodged with the dti as part of the NIP process.

• SBD 5 must be signed and submitted with the bid.
• NIP compliance is obligatory for contracts whose imported content meets the US$10 million threshold.
• A successful bidder with a contract above R10 million must notify the dti within five working days of award.

Steps to discharge the NIP obligation

• The contractor and the dti determine the NIP obligation.
• The contractor and the dti sign a NIP obligation agreement.
• The contractor lodges a performance guarantee with the dti.
• The contractor submits a business concept for dti approval.
• Once approved, the contractor submits detailed business plans.
• The contractor implements the business plans.
• The contractor submits bi-annual progress reports to the dti.
• The NIP obligation agreement is between the dti and the contractor; the purchasing institution is not a party to it.
