Professional engineering services

The market for professional engineering services in the Eastern Cape is worth about R38.5 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. The market is relatively uncrowded, with only 15 suppliers currently active, and just 3 government departments to focus on. Your B-BBEE level will be important here, as about 64% of the allocation goes to black-owned businesses, so it's worth ensuring your organisation is compliant. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the 3 key departments in the province to get a foothold in this market.
