Olympics
Written answers and statements, 4 November 2009
David Amess (Southend West, Conservative)
To ask the Minister for the Olympics how many suppliers based in (a) Southend-on-Sea and (b) Essex have been awarded contracts by the Olympic Delivery Authority since April 2009; and if she will make a statement.
Tessa Jowell (Minister of State, Cabinet Office; Dulwich & West Norwood, Labour)
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on
Since April 2009, there have been no additional contracts awarded by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to businesses registered in Essex. However, after further clarification of ODA's supplier data, it has become apparent that of the 23 suppliers registered in Essex, one business is based in Southend-on-Sea.
These figures do not include those contracts awarded to sub-contractors based in Essex. Many other companies will have won 2012 work further down the supply chain.
