With millions of pounds of contracts still to be won until the Games start in July 2012, it is not too late to win it big for your business.
The London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games are the main body offering contracts at the moment as they prepare to run both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. They need anything and everything that will make the sport competitions happen, support the thousands of athletes and VIP’s before and during the Games and that will support the millions of spectators visiting the Games. Recent examples of things that LOCOG have bought include lanyards, crowd control barriers, flowers, boats, ice making machines and catering provision.
However, as the Games get ever closer, many other opportunities will be offered by organisations and businesses that will be hosting functions, running events or just celebrating the Games in their own way.
So how can businesses get to hear about and try to win these contracts? The best way is for businesses to register on CompeteFor, a free e-procurement service that enables businesses to compete for contract opportunities linked to the London 2012 Games.
By registering your business, you will be able to manually search for business opportunities directly from LOCOG and its suppliers, register for email alerts of contracts available in your sector as well as search for suitable partners.
Vitally, CompeteFor also has many thousands of other major public and private sector buying organisations searching for suppliers for non-2012 related contracts, such as Transport for London (TfL), Crossrail and the Metropolitan Police.
So, register your company now and see what the London 2012 Games can do for your business.
