<p>A decision on who will move into the £537 million Olympic Stadium, due to take place on Friday, has been postponed, the Olympic Park Legacy Company has said.</p>
<p>A spokesman said &#8220;more time is needed to consider the bids&#8221;.</p>
<p>London rivals West Ham and Tottenham, both in football&#8217;s Premier League, are in a head-to-head race to move into the stadium in Stratford, east London, after the 2012 Games.</p>
<p>An OPLC board meeting on Friday was widely seen as the point when a final decision would be made for the showpiece stadium.</p>
<p>The company is in charge of securing an economical viable future for the Olympic Park. Final submissions were made by the rival bidding teams last Friday.</p>
<p>An OPLC spokesman said: &#8220;Given the detailed nature of both bids received, we need more time to seek further clarification with both bidders in order to identify a preferred bidder. The stadium is a significant public asset and we have a duty to run a robust process.</p>
<p>&#8220;In addition to the two short-listed bids, the Legacy Company also has the option of the original plan to convert the Olympic Stadium to a 25,000 seats, mixed-use venue. In going to market, the Legacy Company&#8217;s aim was to consider options which would enhance and build on that plan.&#8221;</p>
<p>West Ham, in a joint bid with Newham Council, want to create a 60,000-capacity arena for football, athletics, concerts and community use.</p>
<p>Tottenham, in a joint bid with sports and entertainment giant AEG, has pledged to create an athletics legacy elsewhere and contribute to the refurbishment of the National Sports Centre at Crystal Palace.</p>
<p>An athletics legacy was one of the key promises that London 2012 made to the International Olympic Committee when it won the right to stage the Games.</p>
