Software

The software procurement market in South Africa is a substantial one, with about R134 million spent on it nationally. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's a mature market with established players. With 33 suppliers competing for contracts from 23 different government departments, it's a moderately crowded space. Your business will be competing with others for a favour, but it's worth noting that the government has a significant allocation for black-owned businesses, at about 47% of the total spend. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with key departments and ensuring your organisation meets the necessary black economic empowerment programme requirements to increase your chances of securing contracts.
