Classroom and instructional and institutional furniture and fixtures

The market for classroom and instructional furniture in the Eastern Cape is worth about R22.5 million, which is a decent size. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with zero year-over-year growth. You'll be competing with only a handful of suppliers, just three in total, which could be a favourable situation for your organisation. The Department of Education in the Eastern Cape is the main buyer, and they have a strong preference for businesses with a high black ownership percentage, at about 73 percent. If I were you, I'd focus on getting your B-BBEE level in order to take advantage of this preference and increase your chances of winning contracts in this programme.
