Specialized trade construction and maintenance services

Your business is looking at a market in the Northern Cape for specialized trade construction and maintenance services, which is worth about R207 million. This market is currently not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be strategic to get a foothold. It's also a relatively uncrowded space, with only one supplier currently operating in this area. The Department of... is the sole department procuring these services, and they favour businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with over 52% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE level to increase your chances of securing contracts in this space.
