Following the expiry of the Decent Homes Framework, THH procured six contracts on an interim basis to ensure that the capital works programme could continue to be delivered pending the procurement of the new Better Neighbourhoods Contractor and Consultants frameworks. These contracts were procured via an external public sector framework, the London Construction Programme (managed by Haringey Council) which was identified as the preferred procurement route at that time.

However, the original scope of works for these six contracts was not fully specified and coupled with the implications of post Grenfell fire safety concerns THH recognised the need to increase the standard of fire safety in its blocks. This led to an increase in works and costs resulting in the contracts being over budget.
