Planning and delivery of the Commonwealth Games requires the support of businesses of all types and sizes, as well commercial sponsor partners. The process begins a long time before the Opening Ceremony, and the Organising Committee, in conjunction with our delivery partner Glasgow City Council, is working with suppliers to deliver a world class showcase event with a lasting social and economic legacy for Glasgow and Scotland.
The process to procure the vast range of goods and services required to deliver an event of this scale is both complex and dynamic. The best way to find out about business opportunities with Glasgow 2014 is via the opportunity listings page, where all competitive tender opportunities are advertised.
Construction opportunities relating to Commonwealth Games venues, delivered by Glasgow City Council, together with relevant sub-contracts, will also be advertised under this heading. The individual construction projects contained within the overall programme include:
• The Commonwealth Sports Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome
• Athletes’ Village
• Clyde Gateway (East End Regeneration Route)
• Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre
• Scottish Hydro Arena @ SECC
• National Hockey Centre @ Glasgow Green
Outlined below is a general guide to the main categories of goods and services the Organising Company will require over the coming 6-12 months. This guide is intended to allow suppliers some insight into the main areas of planned purchasing activity, but it is not a comprehensive list of upcoming tenders. Suppliers are strongly advised to register on the Portal to receive email updates of confirmed business opportunities with Glasgow 2014, and should not rely on information here to find out about tenders.
