London 2012 announced a new initiative for businesses seeking information about working with the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. This includes a new business section on the London 2012 website on www.london2012.com/business. The website also offers a free registration service which will allow businesses to register their interest in finding out about new Games opportunities. “The 2012 Games are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” said Paul Deighton, Chief Executive of the London 2012 Organising Committee. “We will need a huge range of goods and services from businesses of all sizes, right across the UK. Through methods such as e-mail alerts, we will maintain ongoing communication with businesses to ensure they can take full advantage of all the opportunities available. I want to see as many businesses as possible benefit from being involved in the Games.” David Higgins, Chief Executive of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) said: “I want to reassure businesses that they have not missed the boat when it comes to contracts for 2012. The vast majority have yet to be tendered as the construction work begins in earnest in 2008. The ODA Procurement Policy we published last month made clear how businesses can get in shape for the opportunities ahead and this initiative is an important way for businesses to receive information as we move forward.”
