<p>The awarding of public procurement contracts for London 2012 and the Olympic Games
was undertaken by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), an arm's length body of the
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, from its start-up in 2005 until
its dissolution in 2014.</p><p> </p><p>The ODA tackled potential corruption through:</p><p>
</p><ul><li>promoting anti-bribery, corruption, fraud policies and campaigns throughout
the Games programme, supported by relevant personnel training and senior management
appointments focused on fraud.</li><li>having procurement policies and procedures
that were subject to the assurance processes laid out in their Assurance Framework
(available online via the archived "Learning Legacy" website at http://learninglegacy.independent.gov.uk)
and included reviews by the National Audit Office and Commission for a Sustainable
London 2012.</li><li>maintaining rigorous and robust internal audit, peer review and
commercial close-out processes that subjected the procurement, contract management
and final-accounting of all public contracts to the highest levels of scrutiny.</li></ul><p>
