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.
