The teams are Broadway Malyan Consortium; City Legacy Consortium led by Davis Langdon with RMJM, Cruden Estates, McTaggart & Mickel, Citybuilding and CCG; Gladedale Consortium; and The PPD Consortium led by local developer Charles Price with Mace, Caledonian Building, Woogar Hunter, DTZ, Ian Simpson Architects, Reiach and Hall Architects, Elder and Cannon Architects, Nord Architecture, and Murray Dunlop Architects.
Broadway Malyan's team, of Arup, Drivers Jonas and regeneration company New City Vision, is still to appoint a contractor to bid with, while the Gladedale Consortium, with Bellway Homes and Citta Property Group, the Australian developer which built the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, is in discussions with three architects to join its team.

The four consortiums were officially ratified by Glasgow City Council and will now enter into a competitive dialogue process with them. The four are expected to be whittled down to two by the end of the year, with a successful team chosen by summer 2009.
The winning bidder will build up to 1,500 homes in the east end of Glasgow. These will house 8,000 athletes during the 2014 Games, and provide a mixture of private and affordable homes after the Games end.
Ian Simpson, masterplan architect with PPD, said: "It's a big scheme, and it really matters for that part of the city. For the Manchester Commonwealth Games, we positioned the stadium to the east of the city to help regenerate an area that was long in need of it. Creating a sustainable, new Commonwealth Village will do the same for the east end of Glasgow."
