BACKGROUND
The National Contractor Development Programme (NCDP) is a public sector led programme comprising of a partnership
between the cidb, National and Provincial Public Works and other willing stakeholders and partners.
The objective of the NCDP is to increase the capacity, equity ownership, sustainability, quality and performance of ci db
registered contractors – effectively raising the contribution of the construction industry to South Africa’s accelerated and
shared growth initiative.
To achieve this objective, participants within the NCDP should commit to all or some of the following developmental
outcomes:
• Improve the grading status of contractors in targeted categories and grades;
• Increase the number of black women, disabled, and youth-owned companies in targeted categories;
• Create sustainable contracting enterprises by enabling continuous work through a competitive process;
• Improve the performance of contractors in terms of quality, employment practices, skills development, safety, health
and the environment; and
• Improve the business management and technical skills of these contractors.

PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
The purpose of this document is to assist committed clients to design and implement appropriate Contractor Development
Programmes (CDPs) through direct targeting of contractors1
. The guidelines address the following aspects:
• Guidance for designing or implementing CDPs. These include:
o Targeting of budgets, projects and contractors;
o Evaluation of contractors when entering a programme;
o Training and mentoring;
o Sharing the cost of contractor development;
o Risk and cost sharing in contracts;
o Payment dispute resolution;
o Exiting from the programme; and
o Monitoring and evaluating the programme.
These guidelines are generally for government clients that intend establishing a CDP using direct procurement as a means
of engaging contractors. It is applicable to Grade 2 to 9 contractors with a track record and excludes newly established
contracting enterprises, but certain principles can be applied to other grades where clients deem it appropriate.
The guidelines only apply in detail to contractors in the General Building or Civil Engineering Classes of Works, but the
principles can be applied to other Classes of Works.

WHAT IS A SUCCESSFUL CONTRACTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME?
A CDP should be a well-planned operation that aims to exit and graduate contractors from the programme with measurable
improvements (e.g. NQF level or improvement in contractor grading) and involves commitment of nancial and humanresources by both the client and the contractor. Clients that commit to contractor development must use an appropriate
portion of their procurement of infrastructure budget to support the objectives of the NCDP.
The table below summarises the key requirements for a successful CDP.

4.1. Establishing the needs, programme goals & strategy for contractor development
As in any supplier development programme, clients must consider their own needs when designing a targeting strategy
for a CDP. For example, if the typical delivery problems experienced by the client are construction quality related, the client
may decide to only target contractors to ensure quality improvement. If there are not enough women-owned contractors in
a specic grade, the client may target women-owned contractors in a specic grade.

4.2. Getting started
As a sector, CDPs development initiative normally require signicant support from the political stakeholders in the process.
It is important that the key role players in a CDP are involved from the start of the process.
4.2.1. Developing a programme business case
The Programme Manager: Contractor Development must develop a programme business case that
addresses the following aspects:
• Programme goals and description;
• Scope of programme and interventions;
• Contractor, organisational and institutional arrangements;
• Resources and budget to support the programme and attain desired results;
• Programme implementation timescale;
• Measurable outcomes; and
• Programme operations monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
4.2.2. Establish a contractor development steering committee
A steering committee is an important part of the success of any CDP as this will ensure buy-in and improved
communication. The purpose of the steering committee is to direct initiatives that do not fall directly under
the management of the Programme Manager: Contractor Development. Examples of this would include
supply chain management arrangements and payments and contract conditions. The steering committee
must approve the business case for contractor development.
4.2.3. Identify required role players and establish stakeholder forum
Appropriate consultation with key role players will ensure that there is a common understanding of the CDP
and it will signicantly increase the chances of success. Although specic key role players must be identied
by the client, the following participants are recommended:
• The contractor development steering committee members;
• The local Construction Contact Centre (CCC) manager;
• Other clients that may want to participate in CDPs;
• Construction sector representative; and
• Training authorities and training institutions
4.3. Staff resource planning
As contractor development is an initiative of the client, the client must ensure appropriate resourcing of the contractor
development initiative. The structure should incorporate a unit which is focused on contractor development, with the
following functions:
• Planning contractor development interventions;
• Coordinating contractor training during the programme;
• Coordinating mentoring activities;
• Procurement specialisation specically focusing on sourcing strategies that will promote contractor development;
• Stakeholder management and communication of contractor development activities, including coordination with
nancial institutions; and
• Monitoring and evaluation.

4.4. Targeting
Targeting of specic contractors forms an integral part of the design of a CDP. An ill-conceived CDP will not support the
objectives of either the client or the contractors. It is important that the interrelationship between the targeted groups, the
needs of the contractors, the supply-side support initiatives and the projects identied for contractor development are
aligned. Targeting should be read in conjunction with the Targeting for Contractor Development Programmes: Guidelines
available on the cidb website.
4.4.1. Target groups
CDPs should apply the following guidelines in identifying target groups:
i) Ownership: CDPs should target the development of black, women, disabled, and youth-owned
companies. Specically, CDPs should target the development of companies in those Classes of
Works (CoWs) and Grades where imbalances in such ownership exist.
ii) Supply and Demand: CDPs should target the development of new contracting capacity only where
demonstrable shortages exist that are aligned with the service delivery objectives of the client.
iii) Performance Improvement (or competence development): CDPs should target to improving the
performance of contractors – in particular in those areas which are aligned with the service delivery
objectives of the client.
iv) Local Economic Objectives: Where feasible, targeting of contractors should reect local economic
objectives.
4.4.2. Identication of projects
Clients should identify the projects for contractor development based on the cidb grade of contractors
targeted. Project identication should consider project complexity and locality, and must be matched with
the capability of the contractor.
4.5. Identifying support initiatives
The most critical element in any CDP is the support initiatives provided or arranged by clients which includes mentoring,
technical skills development, business and nancial management training, access to nance or a combination of the above.
• Training: This initiative requires the client to organise training with an accredited institution. The training should be
aligned with the Requirements and Guidelines for ci d b Contractor Competence Accreditation which is available
from the cidb, which are deemed to be minimum standards necessary for running a contracting enterprise and for
supervising building and construction works within the elds off:
o Business management;
o Building and construction works management (operational and supervision); ando Legislative issues.
• Mentoring: A contractor’s mentorship needs are to be identied and an appropriate mentorship intervention
should be developed. Mentorship should revolve primarily around the contractor’s business management skills and
knowledge, such as tendering and marketing. Mentors must be registered as mentors with the Council of Project
and Construction Management Professionals.

4.6. Contractor Assessment
The purpose of the assessment is to select contractors that meet the entry level requirements in line with the focus of the
CDP and to determine their developmental needs. All contractors applying for development must be registered in the cidb
Register of Contractors.
4.6.1. Criteria for access
Clients should apply the following criteria to determine which contractors get access to contractor development
programmes:
• Competence
• Financial upgrading; and
• Socio-economic goals
4.6.2. Competence
The contractor must be assessed to determine their level of competence, as outlined in the Requirements
and Guidelines for cidb Contractor Competence Accreditation. The competence assessment can be done
in terms of formal qualications and experience requirements, or in terms of the requirements for an external
competence assessment undertaken by a cidb recognised external Competence Assessment Panel.
Once the contractors’ competence has been determined, contractors should be rated as indicated in the
table below for assessing their suitability for enrolment into the CDP. The competence assessment will then
also be used for evaluating the mentoring and training requirements of contractors that are enrolled within
a CDP.
Description Rating
Contractor possessing the required qualications and minimum experience 2
Contractor possessing the minimum experience but without the required qualication. 1
Contractor possessing the required qualication but without the minimum experience 0
Contractor without the required qualication and experience -1
4.6.3. Financial upgrading factor
The contractor must be assessed to determine a nancial upgrading factor and to measure how close the
contractor is to upgrading to the next grade designation.
The nancial upgrading factor is determined in line with the requirements of the cidb Register of Contractors
based on best annual turnover, largest contract and available capital as indicated in the table below (based
on the current cidb requirements).

Once the rate for each area has been determined, the client should allocate an overall nancial upgrading factor rating using
the following formula:
4.6.4. Contractor Rating
Contractor rating should be based on the following principles for:
• Grade 2- 6 contractors
4.6.4.1 Grade 2-6 Contractors
The nancial upgrading factor rating can be cross referenced against the contractors’ competence
rating to identify the contractors which are close to upgrading to the next grade designation but
require assistance on competency, for Grade 2 – 6 contractors. A score of 20, 40, 60 or 80 out of
a maximum of 80 is then given to contractors that fall within the highlighted areas as shown in the
following table.
Best annual turnover + largest contract + available capital

4.6.4.2 Contractor Prioritisation
The focus of the CDPs should be on contractors functioning within the highlighted area for further
assessment on socio-economic goals. However the client may select contractors functioning
outside the recommended area at their own discretion.
4.6.5. Awarding points for socio-economic goals
The selection process for the contractors should give preference to enterprises with Historically
Disadvantaged Individual equity ownership which have Women, Disabled and Youth ownership. Therefore
contractors must be scored out of a maximum of 20 points for socio-economic goals in line with the
Preferencing policy of the department. The table above depicts an example of how the socio-economic
goals can be determined and scored.
Example of how socio-economic goals can be determined
Goal Points
HDI equity ownership 4
Women 6
Disability 4

4.6.6. Selecting contractors for development
The contractor rating (out of 80) should be added to the points awarded for socio-economic objectives
(out of 20) to determine the overall score awarded to the contractor. Contractors should then be ranked
from highest score to lowest score and the cut-off point is determined by the budget available. In order for
a contractor to be selected for contractor development, a minimum score of 20 should be obtained for the
overall score awarded.

MANAGING CONTRACTOR DEVELOPMENT
During the operational phase of a contractor development programme, a number of key processes need to be implemented.
The following list contains most of the critical functions relating to contractor development which will be further discussed
below:
• Implement training and mentorship;
• Sharing the cost of contractor development; and
• Facilitating dispute resolution.
5.1 Training strategy
A training strategy determines the overall training programme and logistics to conduct training. It should address the
training approach, objectives and outcomes, based on the contractors training requirements (section 4.5.2), and also the
process of identifying and mobilising training institutions which can provide the required training. The following logistical
arrangements should be addressed:
• The number of people to be trained
• The venue and date of the training
• The training materials required
• The expected input and output of the training
• The training service provider must identify suitable training service providers to provide the training. The training
should be accredited with the Construction Education and Training Authority.
The training should be provided and structured so that the contractor can meet the requirements for ci db Contractor
Competence Accreditation (see Section 4.4.2). This typically involves the attainment of formal NQF level qualications, or
work place training and experience leading to the equivalent competence.
5.2 Training attendance: sharing the cost of contractor development
It is considered good practice to require contractors to contribute to their own development. Such contribution may take
many forms, for example some contractor development programmes insist that contractors attend night classes to improve
their skills while delivering on the contract. Other programmes require contractors to contribute 1% of turnover towards
defraying the cost of mentorship. Such commitment ensures that contractors are not just participating in the CDP to obtain
work, but actually progresses towards attaining the contractor development goals.
Clients should introduce measures to ensure commitment from contractors as follows:
• A contractor should at least bear 20% of the direct cost of skills development and training courses and 100% of the
indirect cost by making employees own time available to attend training courses.
• A contractor should at least contribute 20% of the direct cost of mentorship to a maximum of 1% of turnover.
Should a contractor fail to pass the training courses or needs continuous mentorship, the contribution of the contractor
should increase as follows:
• A contractor bear the full direct cost of skills development and training and 100% of the indirect cost by making its
employees time available to attend training courses.
• A contractor should at least contribute 40% of the direct cost of mentoring to a maximum of 2.5% of turnover.
If a contractor does not meet the requirements as stated above, the contractor should exit the programme.

5.3 Dispute resolution
Where there are established processes in respect of a particular form of contract, the Dispute Resolution Procedure for a
CDP contract will be as set out in this guideline. The intention is to ensure that:
• Contractors are not disadvantaged due to lengthy dispute resolution processes; and
• Matters which are subject to disputes are separated from matters which are not.
Disputes arising in contracts awarded through the CDP should be resolved as expeditiously as possible. At all times
the parties to a CDP contract should attempt to settle any claim without the need to enter into formal dispute resolution
processes. However where it is not possible to resolve a claim, the dispute resolution process should be followed as set
out in this guideline.
A dispute will arise where a claim by one party is rejected by the other party and attempts to resolve the matter amicably
within the stipulated timeframe has failed. A claim will be considered as being rejected if the party to whom the claim is
submitted, either:
• Expressly rejects the claim;
• Does not respond to the claim within the prescribed timeframe; or
• The parties fail to reach a resolution within the stipulated timeframe and there is no agreement between the partiesto extend the timeframe for the purpose of resolving the claim.
Claims will not be rejected in its entirety if there is a problem with only certain aspects of it. The parties must ensure that
aspects of the claim which are not rejected are settled. All disputes arising in a CDP contract will be subjected to an
adjudication process. At the time of entering into the contract with the CDP contractor, the parties to the CDP contract
should choose an adjudicator.
The party to a CDP contract, instituting a claim that arises out of any act or omission by another party to a CDP contract
would rst give notice to the other party to settle the claim within 5 days of receipt of the claim. The claim should be
supported with relevant details and any documentary evidence that will allow the other party to deal with the matter
adequately.
Should the claim be rejected, the parties must attempt to resolve the matter amicably within ve days of the claim being
rejected. Should the parties not be able to resolve the matter in the prescribed time, the party that is not satised with the
outcome must issue a notice of dispute to the other party within two days after the expiry of the stipulated time period.
The notice of dispute should provide sufcient information and documentary evidence related to the dispute to give
the other party adequate opportunity to prepare its response. The aggrieved party will simultaneously give notice to the
adjudicator appointed through the adjudicator’s contract as contained in any form of contract calling on the adjudicator to
set the matter down for adjudication within 5 days of the dispute notice date.

EVALUATION AND EXITING OF CONTRACTORS
In order to graduate from a CDP, contractors should be re-evaluated and should meet the requirements for:
•
cidb Contractor Competence Accreditation; and• Upgrading to a higher grade designation.
Furthermore, a formal application must have been submitted to the cidb for an accreditation of the contractor’s competence
and for a contractor upgrade.
Notwithstanding the requirements for graduating from a CDP, all contractors should exit contractor development after the
agreed period specied in the CDP business case, whether they graduate or not. Generally this should not exceed three
years, (which is the time it normally takes to acquire the competence and experience) except in the case of contractors
who have shown signicant progress but have not yet graduated. In these cases, the client can decide whether to provide
additional support for a specied period or by extending the contractor`s period within the CDP.
