Reasons For Decision
 
Options
Appraisal 
 
This report provides to CPIC the business case
and considerations for the procurement of construction works for
the second tranche of Hackney’s New Homes Programme (NHP).
The first tranche comprised nine housing development sites
containing around 305 new homes, the Business Case for which was
approved by CPIC in July 2025 (CHE S571). This second tranche
comprises five sites containing around 109 new homes. The report
describes the analysis and market engagement undertaken to arrive
at a strategy for procurement and construction delivery of the
projects, and sets out recommendations accordingly.
 
The NHP was launched by Cabinet in December
2022 (CHE S142) with authority to proceed through the design and
engagement stages, and submit planning applications, initially for
fourteen brownfield ‘anchor’
locations on housing estates across the borough. The programme has
been established to deliver around 400 new homes on underused
Housing Revenue Account (HRA) land such as car parks, garages and
redundant buildings. 75% of the new homes across the programme are
to be for social rent at Council rent levels.
 
A budget of £10m was authorised by
Cabinet to procure the necessary design and consultancy services,
surveys and investigations; carry out comprehensive community and
stakeholder engagement including establishing Resident Steering
Groups (RSGs) where local appetite exists; engage with the required
statutory authorities including the Council’s Planning
Service; submit planning applications and prepare procurement
documents ready for the tendering of construction contracts. This
‘pre-development’ work is well progressed on the
Tranche 2 projects, and construction procurements for Tranche 2 are
expected to commence from spring 2026 onwards. In addition, on 26
January 2026, Key Decision HCE S644 was presented to Cabinet,
providing the financial plan and funding arrangements for
construction of all fourteen projects comprising the New Homes
Programme.
 
The following table provides a summary of the
new homes outputs across the entire NHP, including both tranches.
It should be noted that, as with all capital projects, these are
subject to planning, detailed design and financial viability.

The NHP is being delivered against a set of
seven overarching objectives which are used to ensure decision
making and project delivery remain in line with the original
intent. These objectives and their constituent themes are
summarised in the table below.
 
· 
Meeting housing need
· 
Contributing to Hackney’s sustainability objectives
· 
Creating better homes and neighbourhoods
· 
Involving residents meaningfully
· 
Making best use of Council resources
· 
Securing value for money in the short and long term
· 
Supporting an inclusive economy.
 
A holistic overall strategy has been prepared
for the delivery and procurement of development / construction
works for the NHP Tranche 2 sites, for which detailed arrangements
are set out in this report.
 
This strategy builds on the work done for the
development of the procurement strategy for the Tranche 1 sites,
which included workshop sessions in May, August and October 2024,
with input from the Council’s Procurement Service, project
teams, the Programme Finance Manager, the programme’s two
Cost Consultant practices and Regeneration Strategic Design
colleagues. 
 
On 10 October 2025, a workshop focusing on
Tranche 2 sites was held and was attended by the Council’s
Procurement Service, Development Managers, Heads of Service, the
programme’s two Cost Consultant practices (Exigere and Bristow), and the recently appointed
Employer’s Agents (Ikon / Cast
and Stace). Regular engagement with the
Procurement Service is ongoing.
 
Alternative Options
Considered and Rejected
 
The range of options considered, and their
appraisal, is set out comprehensively on a site by site basis in
sections 4 and 6 of this report.
