Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
That the Assistant Director for Housing:
1. Pursuant to Contract Standing Order 9.07.1.(c), approves the
appointment of the Setting the Standard programme to provide
oversight, co-ordination and inspections of nightly paid studio
Temporary Accommodation. This will be to enforce a common standard
for such accommodation.
2. Agrees to waive Contract Standing Order 8.03 (requirement to
obtain at least 3 competitive quotations) pursuant to Standing
Order 10.01.2.(d)(ii) and;
3. Approves a payment of £19,702 for this work (exclusive of
VAT).
Authorisation is sought from the AD Housing to
approve the payment of £19,702 to allow the programme to
progress
Continue to set and monitor standards
independently on a local basis: This option was rejected because
there is currently, limited ability to inspect out of borough
properties. Setting a common standard among London boroughs will
help ensure that rogue landlords are unable to move between
competing boroughs.
