Tower Hamlets London Borough Council — Housing retrofit and decarbonisation pipeline
The council signalled a substantial housing investment programme over the next 10 years covering retrofit, window replacements, spandrel panels, non-gas heating systems and heat network decarbonisation. Suppliers in housing upgrades and low-carbon heating should watch for a live pipeline as plans move from early development into delivery.

Verified against the transcript — proposed, not yet agreed
The transcript says “we've got our £609 million investment over the next 10 years” and that plans for non-gas heating systems are “in early stages of development,” which shows intended future works rather than an agreed procurement or live tender.
