Food and nutrition services
R168 million government market · 10 suppliers · FY 2025/26
The market for food and nutrition services to government is about R167 million in size, which is a decent opportunity for your business. What's notable is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of existing spend. It's not a hugely crowded space, with only 10 suppliers currently serving 5 different government departments. To increase your chances of success, it's worth noting that a significant portion of spend is allocated to black-owned businesses, at 65.13 percent, so ensuring your B-BBEE level is in order will be crucial. Given this, your first step should be to review and potentially improve your organisation's B-BBEE certification to make your business more attractive to government buyers in this space.
