POST GAMES REPORT - Commonwealth Games Federation

the future organising committees, i.e., Glasgow (2014), Gold
Coast, Australia (bid city for 2018) and Hambantota, Sri
Lanka (bid city for 2018) on all aspects of bidding, planning,
organising, staging and wrapping up of multi sport event. A
total of 58 Observers representing their respective cities
arrived in India to be a part of Delhi 2010.
Various venues visits, presentations and one to one meetings
were arranged for the Observers who gained unmatched
experience and wide knowledge in such a short time for the
benefit of future Games. The programmes were mostly rated
high or excellent by the attendees.
The Legacy FA coordinated with all FA in collecting the
Transfer of Knowledge documents and dispatched them to
the CGF, as per the Host City Contract.
The Legacy FA also coordinated with all FAs, external
stakeholders and various government ministries in collecting
various facts and information which were used for preparing
the Post Games Report of Delhi 2010.
Key Lessons and Recommendations
• The Observer Programme should not be restricted to the
future organising committees only. It should be open for
all sports bodies (national/international) with a cap on the
total number of participants.
LOGISTICS
The Logistics FA provided warehousing, distribution, rate
card services, custom clearance, freight forwarding, packing
and repacking services, and extra manpower (labour) services
to ensure that all products used in Games venues were
provided in a manner that facilitated their subsequent use.
The FA was able to finalise the tendering process for
appointment of the service provider on sponsorship basis
in January 2010, i.e., well in advance and the Letter of Intent
was issued on 10 March 2010. Venue Managers and Assistant
Venue Managers received valuable Games time experience
as a legacy, and have been able to get opportunities in the
logistics role in the Doha and Pan Arab Games scheduled for
December 2011.
Recommendations
• The identification of the Main Logistics Warehouse with
proper security should take place well on time and the
same warehouse should also be used as the Reverse
Logistics Centre
• There should be centralised handling of all stock
• The legacy/disposal policy on the organising committee’s
assets should be finalised well in advance
