NAT: MINERAL PETROLEUM RESOURCES

You should know that the National Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has a total budget of about R123 million, with a big chunk of it, about 35%, going towards banking and investment services, which is around R42 million. They also spend a significant amount on management advisory services, about R26 million, which is 21% of their budget. Their spending has remained relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth. The department's biggest suppliers include the Council for Geoscience and Broll Property Group, with payments recorded against them of about R26 million and R22 million respectively. Given the department's stable spending and diverse supplier base of 164 suppliers, it may be worth targeting, especially if your business offers services in their top spending categories, so it's worth doing some further research to see if you can get a foothold with them.
