LOC 71993-2005London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games: Singapore Bid Records
This series comprises records collected by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) relating to the original bid which was presented in July 2005 in Singapore.
The contributors to the records will pre-date the creation of LOCOG in 2005 in some files. For example, London 2012 Limited was established in 2003 to specifically focus on the 2005 bid. There are also contributions from the British Olympic Association, London International Sport, the London Development Agency, the London Olympic Institute and the Olympic Legacy Integration Group.
The earliest dated record in LOC 7 dates from 1993 and was created by London International Sport which had been involved in the earlier bids for Birmingham and Manchester as proposed Olympic venue sites. A lot of this information on these unsuccessful bids were used as lessons learnt to contribute to the successful London 2012 bid.
