Educational facilities

The market for educational facilities in the Eastern Cape is about R304 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. It's also a relatively uncrowded space, with only 2 suppliers currently operating in this area, which could favour your organisation if you can offer something unique. The Department of Education is likely to be a key player here, given the nature of the procurement. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE level, particularly as a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, to take advantage of the allocation preferences, such as the 4.93% set aside for black-owned businesses.
