Components for information technology or broadcasting or telecommunications

The market for components for information technology or broadcasting or telecommunications is a significant one, with the government spending about R119 million on these goods nationally. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's a mature market with established suppliers. With only 14 suppliers currently serving 35 different government departments, it's not an overly crowded space, which could favour your organisation if you decide to enter it. Your B-BBEE level will also play a role, as about 16% of the allocation is set aside for black-owned businesses, which could be an advantage if you qualify. If I were you, I'd consider getting your B-BBEE certification in order to take advantage of this allocation and increase your chances of securing government contracts in this programme.
