Olympics written question – answered at on 9 November 2009.
To ask the Minister for the Olympics what proportion of contracts for the London 2012 Olympics have been awarded to companies based outside London; and if she will make a statement.
To date the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has directly awarded contracts to over 1,000 suppliers in the UK, 46 per cent. of these are businesses registered outside of London. Many more businesses are helping to deliver the Games in the supply chains of the ODA's contractors: the ODA has this month produced a map showing how companies across the UK are contributing to the Games, details of which are available on the London 2012 website. Businesses interested in supplying the Games should register on CompeteFor, the electronic brokerage service for Games-related contracts, to date over 4,300 contracts have been made accessible in this way.
