Mail and cargo transport

R68 million government market · 35 suppliers · FY 2025/26

The market for mail and cargo transport services is a substantial one, with the government spending around R68 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you can expect a consistent demand for your services. With 35 suppliers already catering to 38 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, but the fact that about 97% of the allocation goes to black-owned businesses is a significant favour towards organisations that meet this criteria. Given the strong emphasis on black ownership, if you're a black-owned business, you may have a competitive edge in this market. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key government departments that procure these services, to increase your chances of securing a contract.
