Professional engineering services

Your business is looking at a market for professional engineering services in KwaZulu Natal that's worth about R3.2 billion. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't have to worry about it shrinking or exploding anytime soon. It's also not too crowded, with only 7 suppliers currently working with 3 government departments in the province. The government is favouring businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 64% 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 strong programme in place to take advantage of this favourable allocation.
