The London 2012 Olympic games organising committee is
searching for a technology partner to help it integrate all
internal and external back office information systems to run the
games.
The multi-million pound contract will cover elements such as
costs and revenues, facility requirements, information about the
route of Olympic and Paralympic torch relays, plans and data for
the allocation of tickets, and workforce and volunteers
scheduling.
“We are looking for a company to supply an integrated solution
for the storage and management of information traditionally
generated from multiple sources and technology platforms,” said
London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton.
“Putting this integrated system in place at this early stage
will enable us to scale up our organisation not only at the
significant pace required by the Games, but also in a controlled
and efficient manner,” he said.
The organising committee said that instead of having information
located across individual component systems, the new approach will
provide a single repository of recorded information relating to the
preparation, delivery and legacy of the London Games.
The integrated system would also facilitate faster and more
effective decision making, as well as avoiding the need to
reconcile duplicative and independent systems, said the
committee.
Companies interested in delivering the integrated information
solution can respond to a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) at
the official London 2012 website:
