There is an online e-Tendering and planning package to help companies compete for up to 2,000 contracts throughout the delivery of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games and a “Future Opportunities” section, giving advance notice of contracts ranging from work designing sports venues and landscaping to providing occupational health services and logistical support to construction projects.
