Actionwide Consulting going for Gold Print E-mail

2012 Olympic Logo

Actionwide have registered their interest in entering the supplier list being drawn up for the 2012 London Olympics. As many as 50,000 supplier contracts will be awarded in the run-up to 2012.

The supplier list is jointly managed by the London Development Agency, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA).

 

Actionwide believes that its consulting skills and experience place it in a strong position to take on some of the fixed-deadline delivery challenges that will arise in the next 3 years. There are considerable opportunities to showcase London as a world-leading venue for the Olympics. Information Technology will play a major part in underpinning much of the infrastructure made available to visitors, competitors and foreign media. Actionwide has a strong track record of successful delivery in complex multi-layered projects. Actionwide can work as part of an existing team involving multiple delivery agents or can arrange for the complete outsourcing of your project from scope definition to project handover.
