The London Construction Programme (LCP) is a virtual organisation hosted by Haringey Council and was established in 2012. We provide procurement solutions to support local authorities and public sector bodies in delivering high-quality, sustainable construction projects across London and the Home Counties. As a one-stop shop for all construction-related procurements, we connect our members with private sector suppliers and contractors.
About Us
It All Starts Here
Our Journey:
The LCP began with it's first Construction Related Consultancy Framework in 2012.
In 2014 we launched of our first Major Works Framework, later evolving into our MW19 Framework setting new benchmarks in large-scale delivery. This Framework included five specialist Lots, Housing, Education, Capital Projects, Heritage and Historical and Public Realm.
Also, in 2019 we expanded our offering by introducing two Dynamic Purchasing Systems, (Professional Services and Minor Works), creating a ‘One Stop Shop’ for public sector construction procurement.
In 2024 we introduced three sector specific frameworks, Housing (MW24-H), Education (MW24-E) and General Works (MW25-G) to better serve our member’s diverse needs.
In the vein of continuous improvement, we took the initiative to speak to the stakeholders to review and improve to adapt our procurement platforms to suit more to the market needs to ensure we had capacity in specific lots, such as Retrofit and Refurbishment. Moving away from generic lots to better represent in the specialisms and works in demand in the present sector. Making it work better for you.
