Welsh companies urged to compete for London 2012 contracts

Wrexham Assembly Member, Lesley Griffiths, is urging Welsh companies to compete for contracts for goods and services for London 2012.

The AM believes that preparations for the Olympic Games can offer Welsh companies a “unique opportunity” to tender for many different types of work over the next six years.

Commenting, Lesley Griffiths AM said: “Delivering the London Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 will be a massive undertaking. It will require goods and services from an enormous range of companies right across the UK and I am keen to see Welsh companies to take full advantage of this unique opportunity.

“Contracts for London 2012 will be awarded by both the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG).

“The ODA will let the majority of the contracts for the infrastructure, transport and construction of the Olympic Park.

“The London 2012 Organising Committee will let most contracts for services to deliver and stage the Games.

“It is easy to be kept informed of all major developments, including new tender opportunities. All companies have to do is register their details on the London 2012 eTendering website and they will then receive email alerts direct from London 2012.

“I would urge Welsh companies to visit the website, register their details and find out how the London 2012 procurement process works.”
