Food and nutrition services

R168 million government market · 10 suppliers · FY 2025/26

The market for food and nutrition services is a substantial one, with the government spending about R167 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth, which could indicate that it's a mature market with established players. With only 10 suppliers currently serving 5 different government departments, it's not overly crowded, which could be a favourable factor for your business. It's also worth noting that the government has a strong focus on supporting black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with a significant portion of the spend allocated to these groups. If I were you, I'd consider getting your B-BBEE level in order to take advantage of the 65% allocation to black-owned businesses and position your organisation for success in this programme.
