Electrical equipment and components and supplies

The market for electrical equipment and components is a significant one, with the government spending about R469 million in this area. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding rapidly. With 62 suppliers already catering to 18 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, but there's still room for your business to make an impact, especially if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned organisation, as these groups are favoured with 61.5%, 31.6%, and 20.1% of the allocation respectively. Your B-BBEE level will play a big role in determining your chances of success in this market. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE score to increase your favour with government departments like the Department of Public Works and the Department of Transport, and then target specific departments with a tailored approach.
