The following tables show information on consultancy contracts issued by the Government Olympic Executive (GOE), the now disbanded Olympic Programme Support Unit (OPSU) and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), in relation to the 2012 Olympics in each financial year since 2004.
These costs reflect the process of preparing the bid, establishing and building up the requisite high level commercial and financial capacity in these organisations, while ensuring that key delivery milestones are, and continue to be, achieved across the programme. For example, this expert advice has helped us to:
Undertake detailed work to deliver the funding package for the Games just 21 months from bid win, well ahead of any other Games;
Begin construction on the Olympic Stadium over 2 months ahead of schedule.
Government Olympic Executive (GOE)
The GOE information on consultancy contracts gives the value of contracts issued as at August 2008.

In my previous answer to the hon. Member for Faversham and Mid-Kent (Hugh Robertson) on 16 October 2007, Official Report, column 977W, I stated that the ODA had spent some £50 million on consultancy as at 9 July 2007. However, the ODA have since advised me that the information they provided for that answer included the cost of contracts and or elements of contracts that were not strictly consultancy services and therefore should not have been included in the figures provided in my reply. The amended figures for the periods are as follows:
£ 2006-07 13,676,095.21 2007-08 (up to 9 July) 1,155,508.00
For accuracy, the non-consultancy elements, that should not have been included in the figures provided in my reply, have been taken out of the information provided in the following table.
The following table provides information on ODA consultancy spend to July 2008, not the value of contracts. I am unable to give details of the total value of the ODA consultancy contracts at this stage, as this could compromise the ODA's commercial negotiating position and lead to an increase in cost.
