Security and personal safety

The security and personal safety market in the Eastern Cape is a substantial one, with the government spending around R268 million in this area. This market is quite crowded, with about 111 suppliers competing for contracts across 9 different departments. It's also worth noting that this market is not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to be competitive to get a foothold. The good news is that there's a strong favour towards black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with over 76% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses, so if your organisation fits into one of these categories, you may have an advantage. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments in the Eastern Cape, such as the Department of Health and the Department of Education, to increase your chances of securing a contract.
