Domestic and personal assistance

The market for domestic and personal assistance services is worth about R92 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. With only 11 suppliers currently serving 7 government departments, it's relatively uncrowded, which could favour your organisation if you can offer a competitive service. The Department of Public Service and Administration, as well as other departments, are likely looking for suppliers that can meet their Black Economic Empowerment programme requirements, with about 68% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a strong B-BBEE level and building relationships with key government departments to increase your chances of securing contracts in this space.
