Building and facility maintenance and repair services

The market for building and facility maintenance and repair services is a substantial one, with the government spending around R38.7 million on these services. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's a mature market with established players. With 110 suppliers already catering to 20 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, and to make things more competitive, about 80% of the allocation favours businesses that are black-owned. The fact that a significant portion of the allocation also favours women-owned and youth-owned businesses, at 19% and 11% respectively, is also worth noting. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with government departments and ensuring your organisation meets the black economic empowerment programme requirements to increase your chances of securing contracts in this market.
