The storage market is a significant one, with about R5.8 billion spent by government departments. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, which might make it a challenging space to enter. You'll also be competing with a relatively small group of suppliers, only 13 in total, which could make it tough to stand out. It's worth noting that the Department of Trade and Industry's Black Economic Empowerment programme is a key factor here, with over 56% of the spend going to black-owned businesses, so having a strong B-BBEE level will be crucial. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong empowerment profile and networking with the 16 government departments that are active in this space to increase your chances of success.
