CompeteFor

 London 2012 anticipates that between now and 2012 there will be up to 75,000 contracts available through the London2012 supply chain. These contracts will be from a wide range of industries from construction to hospitality.

The London Development Agency (LDA) working closely with London Business Network and London 2012 has set up 'CompeteFor', to ensure that diverse businesses across the capital can access these commercial opportunities.

CompeteFor acts like a 'dating' agency matching buyers throughout the 2012 supply chain with potential suppliers.

The service is open to all businesses but is specifically designed to support Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME's) to bid for contracts further down the 2012 supply chain.

Support

As well as giving London businesses access to these opportunities the CompeteFor service also provides access to a wide range of business support services.

These services can help an organisation build skills and capacity to put it in the best place to bid not just for opportunities from the 2012 Games but to compete on a global level. More information about some of the support services offered is available on the Business Link London website.

The CompeteFor service was launched in London on 17 January 2008 along with the London Business Network.
