Competing for Olympic Opportunities
Source: BiP,
24 April 2008
CompeteFor, the online portal which connects businesses
with opportunities arising from the London 2012 Olympic Games,
has been recognised at the Government Computing Award for
Innovation.
The resource was commended as a runner up in the Best Project – Government
to Business category at the Awards for its work in matching
potential suppliers, of all sizes, with projects relating
to the 2012 Games through online registration.
In its role as provider of buyer engagement services for
the CompeteFor portal, BiP Solutions is working to optimise
the number of contract opportunities which appear on the
portal.
The site will also help companies by giving them access
to Business Link services, providing sustainable, long-term
business support.
The LDA’s Head of Olympic Opportunities Geoff Newton
said: “Innovative projects such as CompeteFor are
crucial in spreading the benefits of the 2012 Games as wide
as possible.
“The service will particularly help small and
medium-sized businesses by opening up the Olympic supply
chain while also helping improve their ability to supply
through the national Business Link network.
“Launching this service before the majority of
contracts are advertised shows how the LDA and the 2012
Games are already delivering a lasting Olympic legacy.”
