Software

The Eastern Cape government's software procurement market is worth about R2.5 million, which is a decent size for a niche like this. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with zero year-on-year growth. You'll be competing with only a handful of other suppliers, as there are just two suppliers currently working in this space. To increase your chances of success, consider partnering with a black-owned business, as they receive a significant portion of the allocation, about 47 percent. Given the relatively small number of suppliers, it's worth doing some research to understand the needs of the three departments involved and tailor your approach to meet their specific requirements.
