Football club West Ham is understood to be one of 16 companies that has registered an interest in the use of the £500m Olympic stadium after this year’s Games.
Tottenham is thought not to be interested in the 2012 site.
The Olympic Park Legacy Company kicked off a new tender process for a tenant last December.
Interested parties can submit formal bids to use the 60,000-seat venue for a maximum term of 99 years by March 2012, with the winning bidders expected to be appointed in May 2012 ahead of a 2014 reopening.
The process comes after West Ham’s original bid for the stadium collapsed in October.
The stadium will be retained by the OPLC as a public asset. It is proposed that it will form a joint venture with Newham council to operate the stadium.
