Public order and safety

The market for public order and safety services in the Northern Cape is worth about R17 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 10 suppliers currently working with 2 departments, which could be a favourable situation for your organisation. It's also worth noting that the government is prioritising businesses with strong black economic empowerment credentials, with 86.3% of the spend going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your B-BBEE level is in order and consider partnering with other businesses to strengthen your bid, especially if you're a women or youth-owned business, as these groups are also well-represented in the programme.
