This tender seeks a professional service provider to develop a performance-based incentive framework aimed at enhancing the maturity and competitiveness of South Africa's industrial spaces. The project duration is 24 months, focusing on comprehensive stakeholder engagement and practical implementation.
The Development Bank of Southern Africa is inviting proposals for the establishment of a performance-based incentive framework designed to accelerate the growth and competitiveness of industrial parks and related spaces across the nation. The successful bidder will be tasked with conducting thorough research, stakeholder consultations, and analysis of existing incentive mechanisms to create a robust framework that aligns with the Eco-Industrial Park Maturity Model (EIPMM). This initiative aims to transition industrial spaces from basic compliance to global competitiveness through tailored financial and non-financial incentives.
The scope of work includes desktop research, stakeholder engagement with various government departments and industrial park operators, and the design of a tiered incentive system that rewards measurable improvements in management, sustainability, and operational efficiency. The framework should incorporate existing grants and subsidies while identifying new mechanisms to encourage investment in infrastructure and technology. Ultimately, the project aims to foster a unified model of industrial ecosystems that enhances economic development, job creation, and environmental sustainability in South Africa.
This tender is suitable for consulting firms with expertise in economic development, public policy, and industrial management, particularly those experienced in designing incentive frameworks and engaging with government entities.
