Since the Grenfell Tower fire on 14th June 2017, four of the seven organisations under investigation for the cladding and refurbishment have secured £355m in public sector contracts, according to new analysis by public spending monitor Tussell.
Tussell’s data reveals that Rydon, the main contractor responsible for the refurbishment, has been awarded £227m in public sector contracts since June 2017, including a £99m contract from Labour-controlled Ealing council in October 2019 for the regeneration of the 264-home High Lane estate, and a £38m contract from the London Borough of Sutton.
Saint-Gobain, the parent company of Celotex, which supplied the tower’s cladding, has also received £127m in public sector contracts since the fire, including a £70m contract from Milton Keynes Council and a £35m deal from Sheffield City Council.
