Procurement
Hosting the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will provide a massive
boost to both the city and the country. Delivering a world-class
event of this scale requires the procurement of goods, works and
services from an enormous range of businesses.
Glasgow 2014 Ltd, the Organising Committee of the Glasgow
Commonwealth Games, is responsible for procuring the goods and
services required to deliver the Games; these requirements will
amount to hundreds of direct contracts, and thousands of indirect
sub-contracts, covering goods ranging from sports equipment to
creative design, and catering to temporary venue infrastructure.
And the story begins a long time before the Opening Ceremony in
2014. The procurement programme for the Games is already well
underway but there is still plenty of time to get involved as the
majority of contracts will be awarded throughout 2012 and 2013.
Business Portal – the one-stop-shop for Games
opportunities
Glasgow 2014 has selected the Glasgow Business
Portal, operated by Glasgow City Council, as the advertising
platform for current and future Games business opportunities.
Registration on the Portal is free and takes only a few moments to
complete. Glasgow 2014 needs the support of businesses of all types
and sizes, so register now to find out more and get involved.
All competitive tender opportunities will be advertised on the
Business
Portal, with larger opportunities also being advertised on the
Public
Contracts Scotland website, as well as the Official Journal
of the European Union.
Winning Business
Glasgow 2014 operates a fair and transparent procurement process
which awards business on the basis of best overall value. An
explanation of how we measure value is included in every tender we
publish. This includes what information we require potential
suppliers to complete and how we will score bids – across a range
of quality and cost factors – to determine the winning bid. We know
completing tenders takes time and effort, and we try to make our
tendering process as simple and straightforward as we can.
