In the summer of 2012 the Olympic and Paralympic Games comes to London! A total of 14 million meals will be served during the course of the Games, across 40 locations.

Catering opportunities will start to be advertised from January onwards and the process for registering your interest in these is both detailed and prescriptive. To assist you with this, please read the steps below:

STEP 1: Read the ‘London 2012 Food Vision’. This outlines the scale of the challenge and the steps that will be taken to deliver outstanding food and drink services.

Suppliers that can meet the assurance and sustainability standards listed in the London 2012 Food Vision, are particularly encouraged to register.

STEP 2: Register your business with the CompeteFor.com website. This is where tender information, news and opportunities will be publicised and one of the key ways in which larger caterers can connect with a range of smaller suppliers of food and services. CompeteFor now have over 100,000 businesses registered, 30,000 of which are based in London. Around 74% of contracts awarded so far have been placed with SME businesses and 18% of them have gone to businesses with 10 or fewer staff. https://www.competefor.com/business/login.jsp
