Where to find 2012 contract bids

After attending a recent business event in Brighton, I was encouraged to hear that there is an active channel for securing new work and contracts for the 2012 olympics relating to digital media and marketing. And I thought it would be worth sharing.

Below are a selection of free services that enable businesses to compete for contract opportunities linked to the London 2012 Games and other major public and private sector buying organisations.

With a particular focus on supply chain opportunities, many of them act as a brokerage service, matching buyers with potential suppliers.
