Procurement
Hosting the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will be a boost to
both the city and the country’s economy. Thousands of businesses
and individuals will benefit either directly or indirectly
from the Games as Glasgow is swelled with visiting athletes and
spectators and its own citizens get out and about to see events and
enjoy all that the city has to offer.
In the run up to the Games, during the Games themselves and
indeed after there will be all sorts of service contract
opportunities from hospitality through transport to cleaning
services to name but a few.
To find out about such opportunities follow and bookmark the
link below which will take you to the Commonwealth Games
Procurement Portal.
Procurement for Businesses
Delivering the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games will require the
procurement of goods, works and services of all types and values
from an enormous range of companies.
Winning Business
To assist businesses in identifying opportunities the
Commonwealth Games Business Portal - a dedicated resource for
Games-related procurement opportunities - was launched in October
2009. The Portal brings together contractors and suppliers and
provides businesses of all sizes with the opportunity to find out
about and compete for contracts. In conjunction with our delivery
partner, Glasgow City Council, companies can view and register
expressions of interest regarding future Commonwealth Games
opportunities.
Registering on the Portal enables companies to:
- Input information to complete an Organisation profile.
- Select the types of Goods, Services or Works opportunities that
you are interested in and receive automated alerts about
forthcoming tenders.
- Save time & effort: The full registration process should
only take around 45 minutes but can be completed in stages.
- Completion of a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire will
automatically update an organisation’s profile for future use.
- No requirement to re-enter the same standard PQQ information
for every opportunity.
- The majority of the required information can be completed pro
actively and only tender specific information will need to be added
for individual projects.
- Registration will also enable companies to gain information on
all other Glasgow City Council procurement opportunities.

Procurement Opportunities
Procurement Opportunities for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
in 2014 will fall into three broad categories and timescales.
Specialist Support Services: 2008 onwards
In order to develop the detail of the delivery plan for the
Games Glasgow 2014 Ltd may need to procure specialist support
services. Details of any opportunities will be advertised on
this website and, where required under European procurement law, in
the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). It is
likely that these support services would be procured and delivered
on a consultancy basis.
Infrastructure and Capital Investment: 2009 onwards
From 2009 onwards G2014 Ltd and its partner, Glasgow City
Council supported by Culture and Sport Glasgow, will procure and
deliver new venues, upgrades to existing venues and other related
infrastructure required for the Games, including the Games
Village. Procurement will happen incrementally in line with a
program of venues’ and facilities’ development, and finalisation of
the detailed requirements to deliver the Games, although the bulk
of the procurement is likely to take place between 2009 and
2012.
Services and Temporary Games Overlay: 2012 – 2014
In the years immediately prior to the Games the focus of
procurement will change more to the provision of services and the
necessary temporary Games infrastructure to ensure the successful
delivery of the Games.
All competitive tender opportunities will be advertised on the
Glasgow 2014 Ltd website and, where required under European
procurement law, in the Official Journal of the European Union
(OJEU). Where appropriate, some opportunities may also be
advertised in the relevant trade journal or magazine, or
occasionally in local or national press.
