Cleaning and janitorial services

The market for cleaning and janitorial services is a substantial one, with the government spending about R25.6 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 283 suppliers already catering to 32 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. It's also worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards black-owned businesses, with about 81% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on obtaining a high B-BBEE level, particularly if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
