Restaurants and catering

You're looking to break into the restaurants and catering market in Mpumalanga, which is a sizeable market with about R13 million in government spend. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth, and it's quite crowded with 239 suppliers competing for contracts. It's worth noting that the government is prioritising businesses with certain ownership structures, with about 58% of the spend going to black-owned businesses and about 36% to women-owned businesses. To succeed in this market, you'll need to differentiate your business and ensure you meet the government's procurement requirements. Consider getting your B-BBEE level verified to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
