Business opportunities

The London 2012 Games will provide numerous opportunities for businesses of all sizes to tender for a wide-range of contracts, from construction to catering. It will also deliver a lasting legacy of economic benefits to London.

The LDA has established a number of programmes to provide London businesses with the information and support they need to make the most of the opportunities associated with the 2012 Games.

The London Business Network

The London Business Network is supporting London organisations to make the most out of the opportunities being generated by the 2012 Games. It will achieve this by guiding businesses to support services, acting as a channel to wider opportunities and network events, and supporting London businesses to win contracts through CompeteFor.

CompeteFor

CompeteFor is an award winning brokerage system that provides prospective suppliers with the opportunity to bid for Games-related contracts. The system has been developed by the LDA, on behalf of the English Regional Development Agencies and UK Devolved Administrations, working closely with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA).

Businesses of any size can use the CompeteFor brokerage service as a buyer or supplier of Games-related goods and services.

CompeteFor also provides access to a wide range of business support services to help organisations build their skills and resources and ensure that businesses across the UK are best placed to compete not only for 2012-related opportunities, but opportunities on an international level.
