<p>My Department has developed strong relationships with the Organising Committees
for Tokyo 2020 (TOCOG) and Paris 2024, and has consistently promoted UK strengths
in the Sports Economy sector, via inward and outward missions, one-to-one meetings,
events and marketing collateral.</p><p> </p><p>The responsibility for how specific
contracts are tendered and awarded for Olympic and Paralympic Games lies solely with
each local Organising Committee. HMG has encouraged both Organising Committees to
utilise international best practice. Tokyo 2020 has a procurement portal listing upcoming
contracts, which is fully accessible to UK companies.</p><p> </p><p>All tenders for
the Paris 2024 Games will be published on the “Bulletin Officiel”, the official platform
for public procurement in France. This platform is open to companies globally, and
UK companies can freely bid for tenders. DIT are working closely with our colleagues
in France to ensure relevant opportunities for these games are directed towards potential
UK suppliers.</p>
