The market for janitorial equipment in the Northern Cape is about R1.8 million, which is a decent size for a niche like this. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. It's relatively uncrowded, with only 9 suppliers currently operating in this space, and just 4 government departments to focus on. You should also note that the government favours businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 73% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation has a solid B-BBEE level and a clear understanding of the needs of these 4 departments before trying to enter this market.
