Tender opportunities and eTendering 
 
Click here for: Opportunities for working on the London 2012 project.

All kinds of businesses, large and small will be needed to deliver the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Most of the contracts will not be let for some time (i.e. after 2008). 
 
Most of these tendering opportunities will be publicised by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA). 
 
The LDA and TfL will invite tenders for all contracts in relation to the construction or transport requirements of the Olympic Park via the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).  
 
Such opportunities are also advertised in key trade journals and on the London 2012 website under tenders. 
 
How will contracts be procured? 
 
A set of draft procurement principles has been prepared that will guide the existing programmes of contract-letting. In due course, a detailed Procurement Strategy for the London Games will be drawn up. 
 
The procurement principles, approved by key Olympic stakeholders, are designed to ensure that:

• Sustainability lies at the heart of the delivery of the London Games.
• Facilities meet the highest standards of design quality - and are of lasting use.
• Local people are given every opportunity to benefit from the new jobs before and after the Games.
• The Games are the most environmentally friendly ever.
• The Olympic projects bring lasting economic, social and environmental benefits to London through regeneration and the creation of a lasting legacy.
