Glasgow-based Aggreko showed the way by securing a £37m contract to become the exclusive power supplier to the London 2012 Olympics late last year.
There will be many contracts for 2012, especially in the service industries, up for grabs - and we will highlight as many as possible on this website in the months leading up to the Games
