Educational facilities

The market for educational facilities in the North West province is worth about R28 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. With 80 suppliers already in the mix, it's a relatively crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. The Department of Education is the sole department procuring in this space, so it's essential to build a relationship with them. If I were you, I'd focus on getting your B-BBEE level in order, particularly considering the black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned business allocations, to give your business a competitive edge in this market.
