Building and facility maintenance and repair services

The market for building and facility maintenance and repair services in KwaZulu Natal is worth about R8.5 million, which is a significant opportunity for your business. 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 137 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your organisation to stand out. The Department of Public Works and other government departments are allocating a significant portion of their spend to black-owned businesses, with over 80% of the budget favouring these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the 10 departments that are actively procuring these services, such as the Department of Public Works, to increase your chances of securing a contract.
