In 2008, the Vancouver B.C. Olympic Committee will release $150 million in vendor contracts to support the 2010 Winter Games. Businesses from around the Pacific Northwest are well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity as there simply aren’t enough companies in B.C. to fill all the needs of the Games.
Carpeting, cleaning and waste removal, furniture, electrical appliances, portable buildings, transportation services, materials handling, sports equipment, tents, flags and banners are just a sample of the goods and services that are in demand to prepare for the Games.
The history of awarded contracts for the Games demonstrates that no business is too small to take advantage of these opportunities. Find out what goods and services will be needed, the timelines for those awards, and how to submit proposals for your business. We will also provide information about how businesses can identify existing vendors who need subcontract suppliers.
