Components for information technology or broadcasting or telecommunications

The market for components for information technology or broadcasting or telecommunications in Gauteng is worth about R34 million, with a relatively small group of 5 suppliers currently serving 3 government departments. Unfortunately, this market doesn't seem to be growing, with zero year-on-year growth recorded. It's also worth noting that the government is prioritising procurement from black-owned businesses, with about 16% of the spend allocated to these organisations, as well as women-owned and youth-owned businesses, with about 7% and 1% respectively. Given the relatively small number of suppliers, it may be a good opportunity for your business to get involved, especially if you can leverage your B-BBEE level to compete for contracts. To get started, you should analyse the current suppliers and departments to identify potential gaps in the market that your business could fill.
