The market for accommodation furniture in the Eastern Cape is about R26.6 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. With 23 suppliers already in the mix, it's a relatively crowded space, and you'll be dealing with 10 different government departments if you do get in. It's worth noting that the government favours businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 74% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation has a solid B-BBEE level in place before trying to tap into this market.
