London 2012: Business opportunities for Scotland
A commitment to excellence in construction
Wednesday 20th February 2008, Perth Concert Hall.
The organisers of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are committed to distributing the economic benefits that the Olympics will generate to businesses throughout the UK.
A number of Scottish companies including Mason Land Surveys, Ritchies and Capita Symonds have already won significant contracts attached to the Games and much more business is being made available on a daily basis that Scottish companies can compete for.
This free conference offers an unparalleled opportunity for the Scottish construction industry to learn about the very real business prospects resulting from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and other forthcoming major events.
For companies that do not have experience of public sector procurement, this is an ideal opportunity to gain real insight into the process and requirements in advance of the 2012 Games - as well as for the Commonwealth Games which will be held in Glasgow in 2014.
The event will be chaired by Gordon Masterton, Vice-President, Environment Business Unit at Jacobs, and a member of the Scottish Construction Forum. Key note speakers will include John Armitt, CBE, Chair of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and Morag Stuart, Head of Procurement, ODA.
London 2012 represents an opportunity to achieve a lasting legacy in both physical infrastructure and international best practice. With significant public expenditure planned across more than 10,000 individual contracts.
