Utilities

The Utilities market is a significant one, with about R2.9 billion in total spend, which is a substantial opportunity for your business. However, it's worth noting that the market is not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing contracts. The market is relatively uncrowded, with only 5 suppliers currently operating, and is dominated by the Department of Public Works, the Department of Water and Sanitation, and the Department of Energy, among others. Given that about 98% of the allocation favours black-owned businesses, it's essential to ensure your B-BBEE level is up to date to increase your chances of securing contracts. If I were you, I'd focus on getting your organisation's B-BBEE certification in order to take advantage of the favourable allocation for black-owned businesses in this market.
