Community and social services

The community and social services market in the North West province is a relatively small one, with a total spend of about R480,000. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which might make it a challenging space to enter. It's also a very niche market, with only one supplier currently operating in this space, which could make it tough to get a foothold. The Department of Social Development is likely the key organisation to target, given the single department count. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) level, given that about 75% of the allocation favours black-owned businesses, to increase your chances of securing contracts in this market.
