According to the Olympic authorities, there is no shortage of supply chain opportunities for SME's. Although the ODA and LOCOG will collectively issue approximately 2500 direct contracts in the lead up to 2011, they estimate that over 75,000 supply chain opportunities will be generated as a result.

SOLOMAN intends to put local suppliers in contact with these opportunities by bringing their attention to the key issues which are important to accessing and winning the contracts.

With this in mind, SOLOMAN has organised an event for Croydon based manufacturers.

The event will be held at Tiger-Tiger Croydon, on 7th March 2008, from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm.

Two excellent speakers have been lined up, Kevin Ma from London Business Network will introduce the new 'CompeteFor' online service. CompeteFor provides unique access to games related business opportunities, acting as a brokerage service between buyers and potential suppliers throughout the London 2012 supply chain.

Mary Edwards, Supply Chain Adviser, Supply London Programme, PERA, will outline the characteristics needed to become a 'Fit to Supply' company, and how the Supply London Programme can help.

Admission to this event is free. Please contact Bernard Godsell on 0845 055 1551 or by email to bernard@soloman.co.uk.

SOLOMAN provides knowledgeable help and support through experienced professionals from manufacturing backgrounds, and a sensible engagement route to public service consultation and support.
