The market for real estate services is quite large, with about R600 million spent by government departments. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth, so it's not getting bigger or smaller. With 558 suppliers competing for contracts, it's a crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. It's worth noting that government departments are allocating a significant portion of their spend to black-owned businesses, at about 33%, as well as to women-owned and youth-owned businesses. To get a foothold in this market, you should consider getting certified with a good B-BBEE level, as this could give you a competitive edge when bidding for government contracts.
