New support for businesses announced

The facility is a new feature of the recently launched business section of the website, which includes progress updates on contracts let and articles specifically aimed at the business sector.

Also available are transcripts and audio downloads from 2012 events, including July's successful business summit, and a list of all 2012 official speaker engagements.

Paul Deighton, Chief Executive of the London 2012 Organising Committee, said: "Through methods such as the e-mail alerts, we will maintain ongoing communication with businesses to ensure they can take full advantage of all the opportunities available."

David Higgins, Chief Executive of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) said: "I want to reassure businesses that they have not missed the boat when it comes to contracts for 2012.

"The ODA Procurement Policy we published last month made clear how businesses can get in shape for the opportunities ahead and this initiative is an important way for businesses to receive information as we move forward."
