Bids Invited For Olympic Venues

The future of the Main Press Centre and the International Broadcast Centre for London 2012 are set to be decided after the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) set a nine-week deadline for companies to bid to take over the venues after the Games.

Together the two centres offer more than 1 million square foot of commercial and office space. According to the OPLC, market research last year resulted in 45 expressions of interest across a range of sectors.

Andrew Altman, chief executive of the OPLC, said: ‘The Press and Broadcast Centres have already generated a huge amount of commercial interest and we are excited to see what bids come forward.

“Now is the time for businesses to take up this unique offer and become part of what will be a thriving centre for enterprise and innovation in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s first commercial space.’
