London Moves Fast to Push Program Manager Selection
The U.K. organizer of the 2012 London Olympics didn’t take long to accelerate procurement of the Games’ building program management role. The government-appointed Olympic Delivery Authority shortlisted four teams of U.S. and U.K. heavyweights to manage the estimated $4 billion of venue and infrastructure construction.
Teams indicated interest to vie for the role as ODA’s “delivery partner” last late month. It will award a contract, due to run through 2013, late this summer. The winner will support ODA to develop and build Olympic Park, and oversee conversion of facilities to permanent use later.
