Alternative educational systems

The Western Cape government is spending about R2.8 million on alternative educational systems, which is a decent sized market for your business to consider. However, the fact that there's been no year-on-year growth means it's not expanding, so you'll need to compete for existing contracts. With 17 suppliers already in the mix, it's a relatively crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your organisation to stand out. The Department of Education is likely one of the 11 departments involved in this programme, so it's worth researching their specific needs and priorities. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a strong B-BBEE level, given that black-owned businesses already receive about 18% of the allocation, to give your business a favour in the procurement process.
