PROPOSED GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR IDENTIFYING RING-FENCED
CONTRACTS
1. Confirmed minimum value that the vendor will receive (fixed income)
2. Confirmed scope of work
3. Continuity of the type of contracts
•
Can the business find work elsewhere after completing the contract?
4. Ideally contracts should be tried and tested before offering it for ring-fencing
5. To include declaration of any associated companies as part of contract owner’s due
diligence
6. To include requirement of local employment (incl. yellow & red I/C holders)
ISSUES TO ADDRESS TODAY
•
Sustainability of the identified ring-fenced contract
•
Continuity of the nature of work of identified contracts
•
Mentorship and technical training for the entrepreneurs
