Anger as Olympic stadium procured without shortlist

摘要

Consultants were this week "seething" at the Olympic Delivery Authority's (ODA) decision to scrap plans to shortlist bidders for the London 2012 main stadium. They warned that the decision last Friday to hand the £242M design and construct job to the Arsenal Emirates stadium team of Sir Robert McAlpine, Buro Happold and HOK Sport robbed London of innovative design. They warned that without competition there was a risk of serious cost inflation.
