THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL PARTICIPATION P

ROGRAMME

INTRODUCTION

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 i m p o r t e d content of the c o n t r a c t . Any

contract having an imported content equal t o 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.

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.

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.

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.

c) the contractor will submit a performance guarantee to the DTI;

CERTIFICATE OF INDEPENDENT BID

DETERMINATION

1. This Standard Bidding Document (SBD) must form part of all bids¹

invited.

Section 4 (1) (b) (iii) of the Competition Act No. 89 of 1998, as amended, prohibits

agreement between, or concerted practice by, firms, or a decision by an association

firms, if

it is between parties in a horizontal relationship and if it involves

collusive

bidding (or bid

rigging).² Collusive bidding is a pe se prohibition meaning that it

cannot

be justified under any

grounds.

¹ Includes price quotations, advertised competitive bids, limited bids and

proposals.

² Bid rigging (or collusive bidding) occurs when businesses, that would otherwise be expected to

compete, secretly conspire to

raise

prices or lower the quality of goods and / or services for

purchasers who wish to acquire goods and / or services through

bidding process. Bid rigging is,

therefore, an agreement between competitors not to

compete

Treasury Regulation 16A9 prescribes that accounting officers and accounting

authorities

must

take all reasonable steps to prevent abuse of the supply chain management

system

and authorizes

accounting officers and accounting authorities

to:

a. disregard the bid of any bidder if that bidder, or any of its directors

have

abused the institution’s supply chain management system and or committed

fraud

or any

other improper conduct in relation to such

system.

b. cancel a contract awarded to a supplier of goods and services if the

supplier

committed any corrupt or fraudulent act during the bidding process or the

execution

of that

contract.

4. This SBD serves as a certificate of declaration th at would be used by institutions to en sure

that, when bids are considered, reasonable steps are taken to prevent any form of bid rigging.

5. In order to give effect to the above, the attached Certificate of Bid Determination (SBD9) must be

completed and submitted with the bid:

The National Department of Health reserves the right to negotiate prices.

The National Department of Health reserves the right to award the same item as a multiple award to various

contractors (two or more) to address high volume requirements, security of supply and product availability.

The following are examples of considerations which may be taken into account when contemplating a multiple

award:

23.1

Eligibility for price adjustments relating to foreign exchange risk depends on:

The submission of a complete price breakdown per instructions below for all relevant products; and

Assessment of the rationality of this price breakdown by the National Department of Health.

Bidder Signature:__________________________



Page 24 of 34

23.1.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRICE BREAKDOWN

 The price breakdown must be completed on the signed bid response document as well as the electronic

version. The delivered price must be divided across five components:

 Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API);

 Formulation;

 Packaging;

 Logistics (this includes transportation, warehousing and distribution);

 Gross margin (remaining portion).

 The sum of these categories must be equal to 100% of the delivered price for the line item.

 The local + imported portions of the first three components must add up to 100% within each component

(e.g. Portion of API attributable to local + Portion of API attributable to import = 100% of specific API

component).

 VAT must be apportioned equally across all components and not regarded as a separate component.

 Labour must be apportioned appropriately across the relevant components.

 Breakdown must be in percentage format to the closest whole percentage (e.g. 20%).

 The National Department of Health reserves the right to engage with bidders to verify any of the components

of the bid price, which may include audit of invoices and related documentation.

23.2 PRICE ADJUSTMENTS RELATING TO FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Only the portion of the bid price facing foreign exchange risk will be adjusted. This portion is determined by the

price breakdown on the signed bid submission.

Adjustments are always calculated using the original awarded contracted price as the base.

Price adjustments relating to foreign exchange will be based on the percentage change between the relevant

base average rate of exchange (RoE) and an adjustment average RoE.

Rates are sourced from the Reserve Bank (www.resbank.co.za).

Eligibility for favourable Contractual Price Adjustments may be withdrawn in light of evidence of poor

compliance with contractual obligations.

Base average RoE for this tender will be as follows, per currency:
