WHAT IS CompeteFor?
 CompeteFor
is the chosen site of London 2012 for
the publication of Games-related contract
opportunities.
It acts as a brokerage service between
buyers throughout the London 2012 supply
chain, and potential suppliers. CompeteFor
also provides access to business support
services; building skills and capacity
to ensure that businesses across the UK
can access opportunities linked to the
hosting of the London 2012 Games.
CompeteFor has been developed on behalf
of the English Regional Development Agencies
and UK Devolved Administrations by the
London Development Agency, working closely
with the London Organising Committee of
the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG)
and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA).
GAMES-Related Opportunities
Businesses of any size can use the CompeteFor
brokerage service as a buyer or supplier
of Games-related goods and services. You
will first need to register the basic
details of your organisation. This will
allow you to view opportunities and gain
access to Games-related business news
and events. You will also be able to post
opportunities as a buyer.
To apply for contracts listed on CompeteFor
as a supplier, you must complete and publish
a full business profile. Once your profile
is published, you will also be able to
track your activity and search for other
suppliers with whom you may wish to partner.
You will not be able to respond to available
opportunities until your profile is fully
published.
