The 2012 Games has the potential to benefit the local economy and enhance international buiness relations through;
- Local companies supplying the 2012 Games
- Tourism and Visitor attraction opportunities
Local business can benefit from the games through winning 2012 contracts and becoming an approved 2012 supplier through the "Compete For" programme http://www.competefor.com/
Over 600 West Sussex businesses have registered on CompeteFor, and over 250 are 'published' and therefore ready to tender for contracts.
Help and advice available
There is lots of support for local businesses to apply to "compete for" through regional workshops "fit2Supply" set up by Business Link Kent. These FREE workshops provide businesses with information on the opportunites available to them through the London 2012 supply chain.
