ODA releases Park Delivery Programme

The Olympic Park Delivery Programme lays out a '2-4-1' process, with two years to acquire and prepare the land, four years for construction and a final year to fully test the venues ahead of the Games.

The programme will ensure delivery is on time and to budget.

The announcement was made at the same time as the first major tender for the Games - the Olympic Stadium - was released.

ODA Chief Executive David Higgins said: "This is our delivery route map to 2012. I recognise it is a bold move setting out indicative target dates that we can be measured against but it is important that we are transparent and accountable.

"It is a timetable that is challenging but achievable and one that will require a relentless focus on delivery, timely decision-making and sound project management over the next six years."
