RESOLVED: That the Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning

3.1 The Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning (Deputy Leader) approved the award of a contract for the planned preventative maintenance and responsive repairs compliance for communal water boosters/ pumps to Contractor A with a start date of 1st October 2025 with a contract duration of 6 years (4 years plus up to 2 optional 1-year extensions).

3.2 The maximum contract value is £900,000.00 plus inflation. This included planned maintenance, responsive repairs and capital replacements where required.

Reasons for decision

4.1 Across Haringey there are communal pumps which service the housing stock with regard to cold water booster pumps, sump/sewage pumps and surface water pumps. These are vital to ensure the safe, healthy and constant supply of fresh water and removal of foul and excess surface water drainage.

4.2 It is a statutory requirement to maintain these assets and repair or replace when required to ensure compliance with regulation and bye-laws.

Alternative options considered

5.1 Do Nothing – This is not an option as it would result in loss of water and sewage/drainage issues due to lack of repairs and maintenance. This would lead to dissatisfied residents and significant health and safety issues, with Haringey not meeting it’s decent homes standards.

5.2 Carry out the work through internal resources – This is not an option due to not having the required level of qualified/trained operatives and specialist equipment and parts to maintain Haringey’s current complexity of equipment.

5.3 Extend the existing contract. Whilst the current service provision is sufficient, we are unable to extend any further under the current contractual arrangements and procurement rules.
