So how will it do this? Here is an example of the ODA supply chain. The LOCOG supply chain will work slightly differently as their focus will be more focussed on services rather than construction. What we have is the ODA at the top, their delivery partner, CLM, who are actually programme managing the contracts that come out of the ODA to ensure that they deliver on time and to budget. Then you have the tier two suppliers below and so on. An example is the supply chain for the Aquatic Centre. They would require a sub-contractor for ... The ODA deal mainly with the larger tier one contractors which are upward of £250 million each. From tier two they are smaller private sector contracts only dealing indirectly with the ODA. But this whole process that sits within this blue pyrmaid is the Olympic supply chain and all of the opportunities on all different levels is what CompeteFor focuses on to make available for small businesses. To ensure that this happens, London 2012 have made the commitment to use CompeteFor for the publication of all Games related contracts. In addition, they are also going to put contractual terms in place for their main contractors to encourage them to open up their supply chains. For example, a main contractor will be asked by the Olympic authorities to come to the table and indicate how much of their supply chain is open and closed. This will be considered in the bidding process and if that contractor is successful, they will be committed to it in their contract. The same process will take place down the supply chain. In reality most of these main contractors have regular suppliers who make up their supply chain. So they come to the table with their supply chain virtually intact. This is because they have proven experience with their contractors to delivery on time, to budget and to quality, which makes good economic sense. But there is always an element of their supply chain that is open and the ODA have estimated that approximately 20-25% of those supply chains will be open and will go on to the website, representing a massive amount of opportunities for small businesses.
