EC: PUBLIC WORKS & INFRASTRUCTURE

The Eastern Cape Public Works and Infrastructure department has a budget of about R131 million, with a significant portion, about 43%, going towards banking and investment services, which is around R56 million. They're also spending a substantial amount on security and personal safety, about R31 million, which makes up 24% of their budget. Their top suppliers include organisations like SARS and the Auditor-General of South Africa, who received about R17 million and R7 million respectively. The department's spending has remained steady, with no year-on-year growth, so it's not an area that's seeing a lot of expansion. If I were you, I'd consider targeting this department if your business offers banking, security, or related services, as they clearly favour these types of suppliers and have a established relationships with key organisations.
