London 2012 Business Network
London 2012 has launched the ‘London 2012 Business Network’, that will help companies compete for London 2012 Games' business opportunities direct with London 2012 or with suppliers in its supply chain.
The London 2012 Business Network consists of three core elements:
- Information: on London 2012 business opportunities including policies and guidelines
- Events: national programme of business events run by London 2012
- CompeteFor: an online resource that gives access to London 2012 related business opportunities
You can register your organisation on CompeteFor. This simple process will give you access to many potential London 2012 opportunities that specifically suit your business.
The Network is accessed through www.london2012.com/business
The core of the Network is the new ‘CompeteFor’ service, a business ‘dating agency’ that will match companies to thousands of opportunities supplying London 2012 contractors. Up to a fifth of London 2012 supply chain opportunities are expected to go through the CompeteFor system.
Click here to register for CompeteFor.
How 'CompeteFor' works
The ODA and the LOCOG will advertise their direct contract opportunities online through CompeteFor and direct London 2012 contractors appointed will be encouraged to advertise their supply chain opportunities through the system. For example the Olympic Stadium construction contractor ‘Team Stadium’ has opened the service with an advert for their site accommodation cleaning contract.
Companies at every level of the London 2012 supply chain will be encouraged to advertise their supplier opportunities through CompeteFor.
