Human resources services

The market for human resources services in Gauteng is worth about R45 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. With 19 suppliers already working with 10 different departments, it's a relatively crowded space, but there is a strong emphasis on supporting black-owned businesses, which make up about 42% of the allocation. If you're considering entering this market, it's worth noting that women-owned and youth-owned businesses also receive a significant portion of the allocation, at about 19% and 3% respectively. To get a foothold, you should focus on developing a strong B-BBEE level, which will give you a competitive edge when bidding for government contracts.
