Software

The Western Cape government's software procurement market is worth about R17 million, which is a decent size for a specific sector in one province. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth, so it's a stable space to operate in. You're looking at a relatively small pool of suppliers, with only 19 companies currently providing software to 7 different departments in the province, which could be an opportunity for your business to get a foothold. It's also worth noting that almost half of the spend goes to black-owned businesses, so if your business has a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment level, you may have a favour in this market. To get started, you should analyse the current suppliers and departments to identify potential gaps in the market that your business could fill.
