Security and personal safety

Your business could tap into a security and personal safety market in Mpumalanga worth about R133 million, with 26 suppliers currently serving 3 government departments. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth recorded, so you'll need to compete for a share of existing spend. It's worth noting that a significant portion of this market is allocated to black-owned businesses, with about 76% of the spend going to these organisations, as well as about 39% to women-owned businesses. To get a foothold in this market, focus on building relationships with the key departments in Mpumalanga, such as the Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison, to understand their specific security needs and how your business can meet them. By doing so, you can position your business for potential opportunities in this sector.
