Local Content and In-Country Value Management Training Course

Participants can convert legal, client and project requirements into a usable compliance register.

• Requirement hierarchy: legislation, licence conditions, client rules and contracts
• Compliance register built from mandatory clauses and reporting obligations
• Definitions of local entity, local ownership and local workforce tested
• Geographic boundaries for local content calculations documented precisely
• Exemptions, waivers and force-majeure provisions assessed for applicability
• Legal interpretation escalations separated from procurement implementation decisions

Participants can define governance, accountabilities and decision rights for an ICV programme.

• RACI matrix assigns ICV ownership across procurement and project teams
• Steering committee terms of reference define escalation thresholds
• Three lines model separates delivery, oversight and assurance responsibilities
• Stage-gate approvals connect ICV decisions with procurement governance
• Data owners, reporting deadlines and sign-off authorities specified
• Issue logs track target risks, exceptions and corrective actions

Participants can establish a spend baseline and identify categories with credible local value potential.

• Spend cube analysis segments suppliers, categories, locations and business units
• Baseline period selection avoids distorted project or seasonal expenditure
• Addressable spend separated from statutory, technical and sole-source exclusions
• Pareto analysis prioritises categories with material local value potential
• Supplier location data cleansed using agreed local-entity definitions
• Opportunity register records value, feasibility, risk and responsible owner

Participants can assess local supply-market capability before setting sourcing targets.

• Supply-market mapping identifies local manufacturers, distributors and service providers
• Kraljic Portfolio Matrix classifies category risk and buyer influence
• Capability assessments test capacity, quality systems, finance and safety
• Market concentration measures reveal dependence on limited local suppliers
• Import dependency analysis identifies feasible substitution opportunities
• Supplier segmentation distinguishes ready, developing and unsuitable local candidates

Participants can set measurable ICV targets with clear boundaries, baselines and assumptions.

• SMART targets link local value commitments to procurement milestones
• Baseline, target and stretch target levels defined consistently
• Numerator and denominator rules prevent misleading percentage calculations
• Local payroll, materials and subcontracting components classified for eligibility
• Weighting rules address ownership, value added and local transformation
• Assumption log records data gaps, exclusions and approval rationale

Participants can compare local and imported options using transparent total-cost and value assumptions.

• Total cost of ownership compares landed cost and local supply options
• Should-cost analysis separates labour, materials, overhead and supplier margin
• Currency, duty, logistics and inventory assumptions modelled explicitly
• Learning-curve effects estimate future cost reductions from local production
• Scenario analysis tests target affordability under changing demand volumes
• Cost premium approvals linked to quantified strategic and economic benefits

Participants can design supplier-development interventions matched to verified capability gaps.

• Supplier capability gap analysis compares current performance with requirements
• Development pathways cover quality certification, equipment, finance and mentoring
• Supplier development business cases quantify costs, benefits and milestones
• Joint improvement plans assign buyer, supplier and partner responsibilities
• Graduation criteria determine readiness for competitive sourcing opportunities
• Dependency risks managed through dual sourcing and phased volume allocation

Participants can conduct fair market engagement and prequalify suppliers using evidence-based criteria.

• Request for information structures capture local capability and capacity data
• Supplier briefings communicate standards, timelines and qualification expectations
• Prequalification questionnaires test legal status, ownership and workforce evidence
• Quality, HSE and financial checks protect procurement delivery requirements
• Conflict-of-interest controls preserve fair access during supplier engagement
• Feedback protocols explain gaps without disclosing competitors' confidential information

Participants can build tender documents and scoring models that assess ICV commitments credibly.

• Specification design avoids unnecessary barriers to qualified local suppliers
• Evaluation criteria distinguish mandatory compliance from scored ICV commitments
• Weighted scoring model balances price, technical quality and local value
• Evidence schedules require supplier plans, subcontractor data and calculations
• Clarification procedures test ambiguous claims without changing bid substance
• Moderation meetings document consensus scores and evaluation rationale

Participants can validate local content claims and identify risks before contract award.

• Bid compliance matrix traces each ICV claim to evidence
• Ownership verification checks corporate records, beneficial ownership and control
• Workforce claims tested against payroll, contracts and skills records
• Subcontracting plans assessed for realism, capacity and local participation
• Site visits verify facilities, equipment and operational readiness
• Red flags trigger enhanced due diligence and documented escalation

Participants can draft enforceable contractual mechanisms for ICV delivery and reporting.

• Contract schedules define targets, formulas, milestones and reporting formats
• Flow-down clauses extend local content obligations to subcontractors
• Evidence retention requirements specify records, timing and audit access
• Change-control procedures protect target integrity after scope amendments
• Service credits, remedies and incentives align performance consequences
• Waiver governance documents justified exceptions and approval authority

Participants can monitor contract performance through reliable metrics, reporting and corrective actions.

• KPI dictionary defines formulas, sources, frequency and accountable owners
• Monthly ICV dashboard tracks spend, jobs, suppliers and target variance
• Forecast-versus-actual analysis identifies emerging compliance shortfalls early
• Variance commentary separates data errors from delivery performance issues
• Corrective action plans specify actions, deadlines and evidence requirements
• Management reports communicate material risks without overstating achievements

Participants can establish assurance processes that support defensible ICV claims.

• Assurance plan maps key claims to evidence and testing procedures
• Sampling methods select invoices, payroll records and subcontractor transactions
• Data lineage traces reported metrics back to source documentation
• Reconciliations compare procurement systems, finance records and supplier submissions
• Audit findings classified by severity, root cause and recurrence
• Management responses close findings through verified corrective actions

Participants can communicate ICV performance accurately to internal and external stakeholders.

• Stakeholder map identifies regulators, communities, clients and delivery partners
• Materiality assessment prioritises ICV information for each reporting audience
• Reporting calendar aligns contract, regulatory, board and project deadlines
• Evidence-based narratives explain achievements, constraints and corrective measures
• Community expectations managed through clear procurement access communications
• Sensitive supplier information protected through disclosure and confidentiality protocols

Participants can build, review and present a complete, auditable ICV management plan for a procurement package.

• Procurement scope, regulatory obligations and local value objectives consolidated
• Spend baseline and supply-market evidence support target selection
• Sourcing strategy integrates supplier development and delivery-risk controls
• Tender, contract and reporting controls form an auditable system
• Peer review tests assumptions, evidence gaps and implementation feasibility
• Executive presentation defends recommendations, trade-offs and governance decisions
