Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games has appointed Trivandi, international specialists in planning, design and operational delivery of major events, as official event delivery partner.
Trivandi’s track record in advisory, design and venue delivery services includes working on every Summer Olympic Games since London 2012, the last three Commonwealth Games, FIFA World Cups and World Expos.
The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games take place 23 July-2 August 2026 and the aim is a sustainable and inclusive delivery model. Trivandi will be responsible for the overlay and venue operations at Glasgow’s iconic sports venues, transforming them into Commonwealth Games-ready facilities.
At the heart of the model is a ‘One Team’ approach which will embed international specialists into key operational roles in the Glasgow 2026 Organising Company, and a commitment to recruiting 250 workforce roles to deliver the Games, with the majority from within Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
Glasgow 2026 will also aim to provide a replicable framework for future hosts across the Commonwealth, demonstrating how cities can stage world-class sporting competitions while maximising local employment benefits and minimising environmental impact.
Phil Batty OBE, CEO, Glasgow 2026, said: “There is no better city than Glasgow to host this forward-thinking delivery model and change the future of how major multi-sport events are delivered. Our partnership with Trivandi signals our absolute confidence in delivering an exceptional Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next summer.
“Trivandi’s world-class expertise and shared values of innovation, inclusion and impact will ensure Glasgow 2026 is remembered not only for outstanding sport but for the positive impacts it delivers for communities, businesses as well as future host nations and the next generation of world-class athletes.”
The Trivandi Academy, using Chartered Management Institute-accredited programmes, will equip local talent with internationally recognised qualifications and build on Scotland’s capacity to deliver major events.
Trivandi’s sustainability arm, The Bulb, will work to ensure every element of venue transformation is designed for reuse, monitored for energy efficiency and minimises environmental impact.
James Bulley OBE, CEO and co-founder, Trivandi: “Glasgow 2026 represents a pivotal moment for the Commonwealth Sport Movement. Together, we’re proving that world-class events can be delivered sustainably, cost-effectively and with profound social impact. Our commitment extends beyond the Games and that is why we are investing in Glasgow’s people, communities and sporting future.”
With the largest Para sport programme in Commonwealth Games history and a concentrated venue footprint bringing fans closer to the action than ever before, Glasgow 2026 is already set to be one of the most inclusive and accessible major multi-sport events ever staged. Trivandi has promised to conduct comprehensive accessibility audits and implement venue enhancements to ensure exceptional experiences for all.
