Building and facility maintenance and repair services

The Western Cape's building and facility maintenance and repair services market is worth about R5.6 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. With 71 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, and you'll need to stand out to get noticed by the 9 departments that are buying these services. It's worth noting that the government is prioritising black-owned businesses, with about 80% of the spend going to these organisations, so if your business has a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment level, you may have a competitive edge. To get started, I'd recommend researching the specific needs of the departments in the Western Cape and tailoring your services to meet those needs, to increase your chances of securing a contract.
