Fuels

The market for fuels in Gauteng is a substantial one, with the government spending around R106 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you can expect a steady demand for your products. With 49 suppliers already catering to 9 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, but there's still room for your organisation to make a mark, especially if you favour black, women, or youth-owned businesses, which receive a significant portion of the allocation, such as 17% for black-owned businesses. The fact that a notable portion of the allocation goes to these businesses presents an opportunity for you to analyse how you can work with or become one of these favoured suppliers. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key government departments in Gauteng, such as the Department of Health or Education, to get a foothold in this market.
