Sign up with CompeteFor and make the most of Olympic opportunities
14/04/2008
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity! That was the promise to British businesses when London made its successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics. Yet for many businesses it’s been almost impossible to find out how to access information on the promised contracts.
Fortunately help is now at hand with the launch of CompeteFor. CompeteFor is effectively a 'business dating agency' for companies interested in competing for the thousands of opportunities linked to the Olympic Games in 2012. Businesses simply need to sign up with CompeteFor to be matched with suitable opportunities.
The site acts as a brokerage service between buyers throughout the London 2012 supply chain and potential suppliers. The Olympic Delivery Authority and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games both advertise contracts through the site while direct London 2012 contractors will be encouraged to advertise their supply chain opportunities via the system.
To register with Competefor simply visit www.london2012.com/business. Registration is straightforward and need take only a couple of minutes. Once you have registered you will be encouraged to complete a Business Profile where you can supply more detailed information about your business.
Richard Lacy, Chief Executive of the Chamber and Chair of the Business Opportunity Group of BOOST (Bedfordshire and Luton Olympic Opportunities Support Team), is encouraging businesses to sign up to CompeteFor:
'Businesses in Bedfordshire and Luton are well placed to benefit from Olympic business but in the past it's been difficult to find out about potential opportunities. CompeteFor is the way forward and every business should be signing up and making sure they make the most of London 2012'
