Community and social services

The market for community and social services in Gauteng is worth about R612 thousand, which is a relatively small but important sector. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of a static pie. With 91 suppliers already active in this space, it's quite crowded, and you'll need to differentiate your organisation to stand out. It's also worth noting that the Department of this sector prioritises black-owned businesses, with about 75% of the spend allocated to them, so your B-BBEE level will be an important factor. To get started, you should analyse the current suppliers and department requirements to identify potential gaps in the market that your business could favour.
