During March, twelve tender awards have been announced, to seven different West Midlands firms, worth a minimum £456,000. These cover both Olympics and non-Olympics work.

The London 2012 project is at an incredibly busy and exciting phase of its lifecycle right now.  We can see a shift in procurement activity  taking place, with tender invitations now appearing which cover the  overlay, fitout and Games-time operations (such as Ticketing,  Catering, Translation Services, Mascots). Meanwhile, when we look at contract awards, these are overwhelmingly still covering the construction sector, from buyers including BAM Nuttall, Balfour Beatty and Skanska. London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) rate of contract awards is also starting to pick up.

If you are looking for contract opportunities with the 2012 Games it is vital to register and publish your details on the CompeteFor portal. The system has now become the main method of releasing tender opportunities, not only for the Olympics authorities, but increasingly by supply-chain contractors, and is also being used for many non-2012 opportunities.

This is the quickest and most effective way to help us increase the value which we can add for your plans to win business with London 2012.
