North London Business

London 2012

The Business Network is your one-stop shop for finding out how your business can get involved in London 2012.

Delivering the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games requires the procurement of goods, works and services from an enormous range of firms.

Visit the CompeteFor website to view London 2012 tender opportunities throughout the supply chain.

CompeteFor is a free website that provides companies of all sizes access to thousands of opportunities supplying London 2012 contractors. By registering online businesses are able to apply for contracts that are part of the estimated 75,000 future business opportunities – around £6 billion of work expected to be allocated by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and London Organising Committee (LOCOG).

“I’ve talked to business across the UK and there is a real appetite for helping us deliver the London 2012 Games. These figures show that smaller businesses are making the running and getting the biggest benefit so far, as well as getting themselves in pole position to compete for future work in the supply chains of our major contractors” said ODA Chairman, John Armitt.

Mike Mulvey, Chief Executive of the London Business Network said: “London businesses represent the lion’s share of CompeteFor registrations, with over 6,500 of the Capital’s firms signed on to CompeteFor. The London Business Network is committed to ensuring that the Capital benefits from the enormous opportunity presented by the 2012 Games and we urge firms who have not yet registered on CompeteFor to do so now so that they don’t miss out on these contracts”.

Contracts are being awarded to SMEs every day through the CompeteFor website, many of which would not have had the opportunity otherwise.  To register your business on CompeteFor or for more information on the above opportunities, visit www.competefor.com.
