Management advisory services

The market for management advisory services in the North West province is worth about R20 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. With 492 suppliers already in the mix, it's a pretty crowded space, and you'll be dealing with 11 different government departments if you do get in. Your B-BBEE level will be important here, as nearly half of the allocation goes to black-owned businesses, so it's worth ensuring you have a good rating. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments and getting your B-BBEE certification in order to give yourself a competitive edge.
