Software

The software market in Gauteng is a significant one, with the government spending about R9.3 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding rapidly. With only 22 suppliers serving 13 departments, it's not overly crowded, which could favour your organisation if you decide to enter. The Department of Trade and Industry's programme to support black-owned businesses is also relevant here, as about 47% of the spend is allocated to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd consider how your B-BBEE level and ownership structure could help you compete in this market, and look into getting certified to take advantage of these opportunities.
