Human resources services

The human resources services market in the Eastern Cape is a substantial one, with the government spending about R166 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding or shrinking dramatically. With 391 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. The Department of Public Works and other government departments are among the 10 organisations that procure these services, and it's worth noting that black-owned businesses, like yours, are favoured, with about 42% of the allocation going to them. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and highlighting your business's unique strengths to get a foothold in this competitive market.
