Commercial sports

The commercial sports market in the Free State province is a sizeable one, with the government spending about R11.6 million on it. However, it's not a growing market, as the year-over-year growth is flat at 0%, which might make it more challenging to get a foothold. You'll also be competing with about 25 other suppliers, so it's a relatively crowded space. It's worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards organisations that are black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned, with a significant portion of the spend allocated to these groups, at 82.56%, 53.38%, and 28.26% respectively. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation's B-BBEE level is in order, as this could be a key differentiator in securing government contracts in this market.
