CompeteFor - London 2012’s ‘introductory agency’ launched for businesses seeking Olympic contracts

17 January 2008 saw the national launch of CompeteFor - the latest phase of London 2012’s Business Network. Described as a groundbreaking business ‘dating agency’, CompeteFor is a unique approach by London 2012 to open up its supply chains to ensure small medium sized enterprises (SMEs) really do have an opportunity to get involved. Over £6bn of work, as part of an estimated 75,000 future business opportunities covering direct contractors and their supply chains, will become available to tender for over the coming years. Around 15% of these will be opened up to new supply chains through CompeteFor.
