Institutional food services equipment

The market for institutional food services equipment in Gauteng is relatively small, with a total spend of about R113,000. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which might make it tougher to get a foothold. You'll be competing with a handful of other suppliers, as there are only 8 suppliers currently working with 2 departments in the province. It's worth noting that the government is favouring businesses with strong black economic empowerment credentials, with over 82% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme to increase your chances of securing contracts in this market.
