London Olympics - Do You Want to Tender for Work?


Forth Construction has been selected to deliver a pilot scheme designed to promote supply chain opportunities for Scottish Construction companies.

All procurement for the London 2012 Olympic Games & Paralympic Games will be done through the CompeteFor procurement portal and Forth Construction will be helping Scottish companies through the process.

Registration couldn't be easier and is done by visiting www.competefor.com and filling in a simple e-form. This takes no more than 2 minutes and begins the automated process whereby CompeteFor notifies each company when suitable procurement opportunities arise and invite the company to submit a tender. Once this is done then one of two things will happen. If your company meets the tender criteria for the individual job then you will be considered for work and perhaps join the Scottish companies who have already been contracted to carry out work. Or, if your company has not achieved the requisite standards then you will be contacted by Scottish Enterprise and offered help to meet the standards through its Business Gateway network.

It is a win/win situation for Scottish companies. Not only are there a proposed 15 training camps being set up in Scotland but the CompeteFor portal has proved so successful so far that the indications are that the portal will be retained by the London Boroughs, London Development Agency and others for future procurement after the Olympics.To register go to www.competefor.com or for more information contact us at Forth Construction on 01259 226696 or email forthconstruction@clacks.gov.uk
