Software

The software procurement market is a significant one, with the government spending about R134 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 33 suppliers already catering to 23 different departments, it's a fairly crowded space, but there's still room for your organisation to make an impact, especially if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, as the government has allocated about 47%, 18%, and 6% of the spend to these groups respectively. The Department of Communications and other government departments are likely to be key players in this market. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and highlighting your business's unique strengths, such as your B-BBEE level, to gain a competitive edge.
