National Contractor Development Programme
Overview
The revised National Contractor Development Programme (NCDP) is a nationally aligned, transformation-driven framework designed to promote the sustainable growth and advancement of historically disadvantaged contractors, with a strong focus on women, youth, and persons with disabilities.
Strategic Launch via Provincial Roadshows
The implementation of the new framework will be initiated through a series of provincial roadshows, which will act as the primary entry point by:
- Conducting Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessments to evaluate contractor readiness.
- Delivering tiered masterclasses tailored to actual developmental needs.
- Providing on-site regulatory guidance and funding support.
- Onboarding contractors into a virtual mentorship programme.
- Linking programme graduates to structured procurement opportunities.
