Roads and landscape

The market for roads and landscape services in Mpumalanga is worth about R10.2 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. With only 20 suppliers currently operating in this space, it's relatively uncrowded, but you should note that the Department of Roads is favouring organisations with strong black economic empowerment credentials, with over 86% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. The fact that women and youth-owned businesses are also well-represented, with 42.84% and 33.52% of the allocation respectively, is a positive sign for diverse suppliers. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme to increase your chances of winning contracts in this market.
