2012 Business

The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games is expected to generate over £6bn of work as part of an estimated 75,000 future business opportunities covering direct contractors and their supply chains over the coming years.

We aim to ensure local businesses are aware of, and have maximum opportunity to benefit from London 2012. We want Herefordshire companies to be in the best possible position to tender for 2012 contracts as they arise. Companies that gear up to win London 2012 contracts should also be well placed to compete for further public sector work, worth an estimated £150bn per annum.

If you are a Herefordshire business and interested in winning a 2012 contract please register on the 'Compete for' website. Those firms seeking either partnerships to tender or those that are interested in winning contracts relating to the Athletes Village should visit either the 'Ready for Business' site or 'Village Supply Chain' respectively.

Indirectly other opportunities have already materialised in the county, with the potential of more linked to:

• Cultural Olympiad
• Pre Games Training Camps
• Beijing 2008
• 2010 Blind Football World Championships

As stakeholders in Raising Our Game the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce has developed a range of services to ensure you have the best possible opportunity to translate potential contracts into real contracts. Our aim is to help you break down the barriers and give you all the support you need to complete highly competitive tenders.
