Comprehensive health services

The market for comprehensive health services in the Eastern Cape is about R97 million, which is a decent size. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with no year-over-year growth. You're looking at a relatively small pool of suppliers, with only 7 companies currently providing these services to 2 departments in the province. To give you a sense of the competition, it's worth noting that a significant portion of the spend, about 80%, goes to black-owned businesses, so you'll want to consider your B-BBEE level when deciding whether to enter this market. If you're considering getting into this space, I'd recommend taking a close look at your organisation's B-BBEE status and how it might impact your chances of securing government contracts.
