[Report of the Director for  Environment  and Neighbourhoods. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for  Local Investment and Economic Growth]

The report is seeking approval to renew the DPS categories for Semi Independent, Supported living and HomeCare for two years to ensure the service have a compliant route to market and also allow the service to review their current processes in place.

The Cabinet Member for Local Investment and Economic Growth introduced the report which outlined the reasons for the renewal of the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) procurement sourcing tools for the provision of the Council’s Semi Independent, Supported Living and Home Support requirements for a period of two years, with the provision to extend for a further two years until 2024.

The Cabinet Member outlined that the DPS was a key tool in providing local business and SMEs easy access to Council contracts, and would play a large part in community wealth building and economic recovery. Haringey was recognised as a leader in this field, with the largest portfolio of DPS categories in local government, with over £100m p.a. of spend going through them.

In response to questions from Councillor Connor, it was noted that:

• Further information on the number of care workers and their rate of pay, where they were not covered by DPS contracts, was available in the addendum report for agenda item 9.

• The Head of Procurement would confirm in writing whether the terms and conditions of the new arrangements required full sick pay to be paid.

RESOLVED

1.         That pursuant to CSO 7.04 a) (Where the Council is considering leading on any joint procurement activities with other contracting authorities that is a Key Decision), CSO 9.04.1 (a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) may be used to carry out procurements in accordance with Regulation 34 of the Public Contract Regulations) and CSO 9.07.1 e) (The award of any contract valued £500,000 (five hundred thousand pounds) or more is a 'key decision') to renew the DPSs for Home Support, Semi Independent, and Supporting Living with access for other Local Authorities for an initial two (2) year period commencing on 1^st July 2020 with an option to extend for a further two years to 30^th June 2024.

2.         To award a DPS for the following care provision with additional capacity of 75% for LLW and use by other local authorities in the values outlined below:

It was noted: The above values consider the provision for both the Council and other authorities accessing the DPS and does not represent the actual expenditure of the Council in these categories.

Reasons for decision

The Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is a supplier e-sourcing tool and a compliant route to market under the Public Contract Regulations, which enables suppliers to enrol, accredit and be approved to bid for Council contracts.

The Council’s overall spend for home support, supported living and semi- independent over the past financial year was in the region of £13m, £16m and £7m, respectively. Renewing these DPSs will not incur any additional license fees, as the Council already holds an enterprise license.

The DPS provides a compliant route to market for care provision, which ensures transparency in the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 234.

[Report of the Director  of Finance.To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Finance and Strategic Regeneration]

This will report will provide an update on the actual and forecast impact of Covid-19 on Council General Fund, HRA & Capital budgets and the MTFS,  including notification of government funding.  It will seek approval for any budget changes required.

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Strategic Regeneration introduced the report which provided an update on the current estimated financial impact of Covid-19 and built on the 6 April 2020 Leader’s Signing report. The report set out further Government announcements, confirmation of agreed allocations of Government funding and recommended further allocations to be made.

The Cabinet Member noted that whilst it was expected that further funding would be forthcoming to balance additional expenditure, there would be difficult financial decisions to be made in the event that this funding was not forthcoming.

The Cabinet Member further referred to the tabled addendum report which clarified the financial implications for the Council of continued financial support for the home care sector as the transition to the new DPS arrangements, which incorporate the payment of LLW, take effect.

The addendum report provided a route for ensuring that care workers continue to be paid at rates which are commensurate with the valued work which they do for Haringey residents and supports implementation of the LLW for the care sector. This was at a quicker pace than previously envisaged and in a sustainable way despite the specific challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic for the care sector. The additional recommendations outlined at section 4.1.1 to 4.1.3 gave effect to this.

In response to questions from Councillors Dennison, Connor and Palmer, it was noted that:

• The funding allocation for the Discretionary Grant Funding scheme was 5% of projected spend for the initial two grant schemes. The baseline funding allocation for Haringey was £3.153m.

• Relevant information on expenditure on the Reopening High Streets Safety Fund would be provided to Councillor Dennison.

• Noted that local authorities will be subject to a series of impacts based on expenditure and loss of income experience which was a similar financial position to the national level. The report indicated that the Council was on track to receive around a third of the required funding needed to support the General Fund and this was in trend with other local authorities.

• The table at paragraph 8.6 provided a broad overview of the financial impact so far. This showed the potential effect on income ,expenditure  and planned savings, balanced against the received grant funding. Regarding expected grant funding to be received, while was a matter of interpretation, it  would be reasonable to conclude that  the Council’s  government  towards Covid 19 budget pressures to date was in proportion to the national position reported by the LGA .

• Details on the Care Home Support Plan was available on the Council’s website – https://www.haringey.gov.uk/social-care-and-health/covid-19-information-and-guidance-health-and-social-care-professionals
• The addendum outlined a series of recommendations, one of which was a continuation of a £2 uplift in hourly pay rate for home care workers from April-June. This uplift brought the hourly pay rate in line with the London Living Wage.

• The £1.4m income loss and £8.2m impact on the Housing Revenue Account would not be written off as it was expected, at this point in time, to be covered by government funding.

• Any rent deferrals  ...  view the full minutes text for item 235.

[Report of the Assistant Director for Commissioning. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Communities and Equalities.]

The report will set out the Council’s proposed support package to the voluntary and community sector in response to Covid 19.This will include the joint activities that it will be taking forward with the Haringey Bridge Renewal Trust, the Council’s strategic Voluntary sector partner to maximise access of the voluntary and community sector to external funding and facilitating collaboration between organisations.

The report will further seek agreement to vire £600k from the Council’s Emergency Response contingency to fund access to: a £250k VCS Hardship (Operating Costs) Fund for rapid allocation to the sector, a £250k VCS Hardship (Critical Support for those of Additional Value) Fund for rapid allocation to the sector and

extend the current 3 month rent holiday for organisations in Council buildings to 6 months at an estimated cost of £100,000

The report will seek approval to the key principles of the scheme which will enable access to this funding. Completion and publication of the final scheme will be delegated to the Director for Finance in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Communities and Equalities.

Clerks note: Councillor Seema Chandwani, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods left the meeting for the duration of the item.

The Cabinet Member for Communities and Equalities introduced the report which set out the impact of lockdown on the viability of voluntary and community organisations in Haringey. It also set out a draft package of support to the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS).

The Cabinet Member thanked the Voluntary Sector in Haringey for their incredible efforts in supporting communities in this health crisis and noted their support in critical areas such as food distribution.

The Cabinet Member, referred to the previous agenda item report on the Council’s finances and reflected on the difficult funding pressures the borough were facing going forward. He expressed that it was regrettable that government were not providing the voluntary sector with the full funding support that it needed.

The package of Voluntary Sector support, put forward in the attached report, was felt to be fair in this context of uncertainty. He referred to section 4 of the report which outlined the Council’s commitment to £500k of funding to the voluntary and community sector. This was through establishing two hardship funds to access, one directed to supporting voluntary organisations in operating costs. The second fund was focused on critical support to voluntary organisations with additional value to the operations of the Council.

The Council’s role as a provider of last resort to support voluntary organisations was highlighted and Officers and Councillors would also engage with the sector on how the final scheme would be framed.

The Cabinet Member drew the Cabinet’s attention to paragraph 8.47, which outlined the long proud tradition of the voluntary sector in supporting a diverse borough. The Cabinet Member expressed that Covid-19 had highlighted glaring levels of inequalities faced across the borough and it was hoped that the recommendations in the report would work to enable organisations to support residents facing inequality and to continue in the delivery of vital services across Haringey.

In response to questions from Councillors Dennison, das Neves and Culverwell, it was noted that:

• The Assistant Director for Commissioning would provide a response in writing to Cllr Dennison on the number of voluntary sector organisations that had applied to the business grants funding. In addition the Assistant Director would provide information on organisations that were eligible to access the hardship fund.

• The £100k referred to in paragraph 8.1.1 would cover an extension in rent holidays from three to six months. The Council would not pursue organisations to recover the money but would review all rent holidays after six months.

• A member briefing would be provided on the final details of the scheme with a time frame for implementation.

• Providers delivering benefit advice were envisaged to be a critical focus for providing support. In addition to making this funding available to the main advice providers in the borough, the Council would look into stimulating other providers in the advice space to access funding. This could include working with  ...  view the full minutes text for item 236.

[Report of the Director for Children’s Services to be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Families.]

To provide Cabinet with an update on the SEND Transport Transformation Plan to address the recommendations of the Cabinet meeting of 10th December 2019.

Clerk’s Note -Cllr Chandwani, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods re-joined the meeting.

The Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Families introduced the report which set out the response to the resolutions made at the Cabinet meeting on 10 December 2019.

The Cabinet Member advised that, following listening to the views of parent’s and carers of children with disabilities, the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, and Councillors, the report was proposing not continuing with the procurement of a transformation partner for the SEND service. In addition, the required period for progressing the contract had expired and the report detailed this.

The Cabinet Member advised that, instead the Council would be supporting development of the SEND service through a change programme. This would be focused on improving the service to accommodate disabled children’s different needs. Steps had already been taken to include buddies on transport provision and the Council had enlisted an experienced external organisation for consulting with parents and carers on development of the service going forward. The Cabinet Member was absolutely clear that the best advice, on the service provision going forward, would be from parents and carers.

In response to questions from Councillor Palmer, it was noted that:

·         The Cabinet Member’s aim was working directly with parents and ensuring disabled children can get to school in a happy and contented way and encouraging parents to come forward and help shape the service.

·         The service was starting to meet with parents and carers, and exploring options to reach out to all stakeholders. Parents and carers had completed a survey in Feb 2020 which had provided a clear indication of issues experienced. In immediate response to the feedback, the application process for transport had been updated. Also the SEND policy, which had been compiled in 2018, would be looked at. There were reports being compiled on this and Cllr Palmer requested a copy.

·         It was acknowledged that co-production had many components to get right and assurance was given that focus would be ensuring all users of the service were reached. Activities would be taken forward with parents in an active collaborative way and the service would be listening to parents to help shape the service going forward.

·          The Cabinet Member was meeting with parents and carers this week and there was engagement and stakeholder group meeting planned for the 24th of June.

·         The procurement window for decision making on a transformation partner had now ended and to restart this would mean a much later decision at the end of the year. This was too late for meeting the forthcoming transport needs of families. Instead the service were focusing on providing reliable consistent transport for September.

·         Officer time spent on preparing for working with an external partner had not been specifically logged. However, the type of activities that were taken forward were business as usual tasks focused on co -production for transport provision. There would not be any value in undertaking an analysis on the resources undertaken on the procurement  ...  view the full minutes text for item 237.

[Report of the Assistant Director for Housing. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal.]

The report seeks Cabinet approval for sites to be entered into the Council Housing Delivery Programme, and will include an update on the programme.

Clerks note -The Leader left the meeting following his earlier declaration of interest and Cllr Chandwani, Deputy Leader chaired the meeting for this item.

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal, introduced the report which provided an update on the Council’s progress towards the Borough Plan target to deliver 1,000 Council homes for Council rent by 2022 and noted progress on providing homes for homeless families through the Haringey Community Benefit Society (CBS). The report further set out an initial assessment of the likely impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the housing delivery programme, including on its viability.

Cabinet were asked to add seven new sites of Council land - including land at Kerswell Close - to the housing delivery programme, and to remove the Roundway site from the programme.

Following questions from Cllr Jogee, Cllr Connor and Cllr das Neves the following information was provided by the Cabinet Member and  the Interim Assistant Director for Housing.

• With regards to concerns raised on the inclusion of Stokley court as a potentially suitable site on which to build new Council homes, the Cabinet Member provided assurances that there were no current plans to demolish any homes and no decisions had been made for the site. This Cabinet decision was the first stage of consideration in a defined process of engagement and consultation. Stokley court was previously approved for potential development by Cabinet on 9 July 2019. However, that approval was for a small infill scheme on the adjacent car park. Investigations of the site had identified the potential for a larger scheme, and the report was seeking Cabinet approval of investigation of that wider site.

• The designation of Stokley court as a “Good Neighbour Scheme” means that the current building is not meeting tenants’ access needs. This block was  part of a review by Homes for Haringey of its Sheltered Housing and Good Neighbour Schemes and was identified as needing considerable refurbishment. The Cabinet Member expressed, that there was a need for a broader approach to understand the potential of a bigger scheme for the site and increasing the housing currently available. The Council were being open and transparent in their consideration of this site and wanting to engage with Councillors and residents. If following this engagement and consultation there were valid objections, or if investigations demonstrated that it was not appropriate to take forward this site in the housing delivery programme, then the scheme would not proceed.

• Responding to the concerns on the uncertainty and anxiety that this engagement period of 9 months may create for residents in this scheme, the Cabinet Member gave assurance that residents would not be obligated to move from this site if they did not want to. The Cabinet Member was happy to write to residents to give them this assurance as well as Chettle Ct residents who had expressed similar concerns.

• The interim Assistant Director for Housing added, that the Homes for Haringey review of sheltered housing showed that the housing in  ...  view the full minutes text for item 238.

[Report of the Director for Environment and Neighbourhoods. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal.]

The report will be seeking approval to undertake public consultation in respects to a proposed property licensing scheme for privately rented homes within a designated area of the borough.

Clerk’s note – The Leader re – joined the meeting and chaired the reminder of the  agenda items.

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal introduced the report which outlined the proposed landlord licensing scheme, containing the regulatory framework to support the many good landlords in Haringey, whilst also providing the powers for officers to tackle the rogue landlords who do not comply. The scheme will also enable the Council to know who owns and manages these properties through the issuing of licenses to operate.

This report further sought a decision from Cabinet to carry out statutory public consultation exercise in relation to the designation of two areas within the borough, as set out in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 of the attached report which will be subject to Selective Property Licensing.

In response to questions from Councillor Connor, the following was noted:

• It was not currently possible to have a borough wide scheme with all wards included. The external advice provided, in the early stages of progressing this policy, was that the government criteria for a borough wide scheme was unlikely to be met. In relation to deciding the wards areas which would include the license, it was noted that deprivation indices had been included in the proposed selective scheme proposal. There were also still identified existing tools within enforcement programme to deal with private properties located outside the scheme.

• If the consultation result indicated a need to extend the scheme then this could still be considered post consultation. The final decision maker on the scheme was the secretary of state as outlined in the report.

• With regards to the potential of the £600 fee being passed on from landlords to tenants, this was not considered to be a significant issue. If this situation were to occur, it was unlikely to be a much higher additional cost as the £600 fee was paid every 5 years .Also the availability of a license would be providing the tenant with the assurance of good accommodation which is well managed.

• The Housing Improvement Team had compiled significant data on the private rented sector, working with an experienced external company and would be able to use this information to contact landlords that may not have accessed a license.

RESOLVED

1. To authorise the Director for Environment and Neighbourhoods, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal, to finalise and commence (when appropriate – see 1.4) statutory consultation on a proposal to designate two areas within the borough for selective licensing as described at 6.4 and Appendices 1 & 2 together with:

·                     The proposed fees and charges in Appendix 5

·                     The proposed Standard Licensing Conditions in Appendix 4.

2. To note that following the consultation a further report will be presented to cabinet for final decision before making, a referral to Secretary of State for approval.

Reasons for decision

The private housing market is a growing sector which is reflected within Haringey. Recent local research has identified that the Private Rented Sector (PRS) in  ...  view the full minutes text for item 239.

[ Report of the Assistant Director for Housing. To be introduced  by the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate  Renewal.]

Cabinet is asked to approve the following in respect of Mount View Court & Romney Close, to contribute to the delivery of housing in the borough:  1) approve the award of Contract; 2) the appropriation of the land for planning purposes under Section 122 of the Local Government Act (LGA) 1972; 3) to execute our rights under Section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act (HPA) to remove the risk of an injunction being served which could stop the development proceeding.

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal introduced the report which sought approval to appoint the recommended contractor, NFC Homes Limited, to complete a new build development of seven Council rented homes: three at Romney Close N17 and four at Mount View Court N8, and to appropriate the land for planning purposes to facilitate the development process.

The Cabinet Member highlighted that this decision was responding to the need for housing with more than 2 bedrooms. There would be three two-bedroom homes, including one that is accessible for wheelchair-users, in Northumberland Park, and four four-bedroom homes in Harringay.

Further to considering exempt information,

RESOLVED

1. To approve the appointment of NFC Homes Limited to undertake the new build works to provide a total of seven Council rented homes at Romney Close and Mount view Court for a total contract sum of £2,144,016 and to approve the client contingency sum set out in the exempt part of the report.

2. To approve the appropriation of the land at the sites of Romney Close and Mount View Court (edged red in the plans attached at Appendix 1) from housing purposes to planning purposes under Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 as they are no longer required for the purpose which they are currently held, and for the purpose of carrying out development as set out in paragraphs 6.1 to 6.25 of this report.

3. To approve the use of the Council’s powers under Section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to override easements and other rights of neighbouring properties infringed upon by the Romney Close development, under planning permission Ref: HGY/2020/0183 and by the Mount View development, under planning permission Ref: HGY/2020/0181.

4. To delegate to the Director of Housing, Regeneration and Planning, after consultation with the Director of Finance and the Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal, authority to make payments of compensation as a result of any infringement arising from the development and the recommendation 3.1.3, within the existing scheme of delegation.

5. To approve the appropriation of the land at the sites of Romney Close and Mount View Court (edged red in the plans attached at Appendix 1) from planning purposes back to housing purposes under Section 19 of the Housing Act 1985, after practical completion of the development on 31 December 2021.

Reasons for decisions

The two sites, Romney Close and Mountview Court, were approved by Cabinet on 9 July 2019 to be included in the Council housing delivery programme. These schemes have subsequently been granted planning consent and are ready to progress to construction. This report therefore marks the third, and final, Member led decision to develop these two sites.

Following a formal tender process, a contractor has been identified to undertake these works.

The appropriation of the two sites for planning purposes is required as it will allow the Council to use the powers contained in section 203 to override easements and other rights of neighbouring properties and will prevent injunctions that could delay  ...  view the full minutes text for item 240.

[Report of the Assistant Director for Housing. To be introduced by the  Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal.]

Cabinet are asked to approve  for housing delivery schemes Harvey House and Finsbury Road (1) the award of the construction contract (sub £500k) (2) the appropriation of the land for planning purposes and (3) noting that the land at Harvey House shall remain in the HRA for this development at neutral costs.

The Cabinet Member introduced the report which sought approval to the conversion of two disused Council-owned shops into two new Council homes: a three-bedroom home in Bounds Green and a one-bedroom home in Hornsey. Both would be let on secure Council tenancies at Council rents.

Further to considering exempt information,

RESOLVED

1. To approve the appointment of Cuttle Construction to undertake refurbishment works to provide two Council rented homes at 27 Harvey House and 43 Finsbury Road for a total sum of £390,398.

2. To approve the property known as 27 Harvey House being appropriated from the General Fund to the Housing Revenue Account to enable the conversion into affordable housing to proceed.

Reasons for decision

The two shop conversion sites, 43 Finsbury Road and 27 Harvey House, were approved by Cabinet to be part of the Council housing delivery programme on 7 July 2019. These schemes have subsequently been granted planning consent and are ready to progress to construction. This report therefore marks the third, and final, Member-led decision to develop these two sites.

Following a competitive tender process, a contractor has been identified to undertake these works, which will help the Council make progress in delivering a new generation of Council homes at Council rents.

The property at 27 Harvey House, which is an entirely commercial space, currently sits within the General Fund, following the July 2017 Cabinet decision to appropriate it for General Fund purposes. The scheme has been granted planning consent to convert it into housing and is ready to progress to construction. This property needs to be appropriated back to the HRA as works to convert the premises to housing will be funded through the HRA and on completion the new home will be let at Council rent levels.

This decision is necessary at this time to support the Council’s COVID-19 response, in as much as it will be part of a portfolio of schemes that are ready to go onsite as soon as the lockdown rules allow – supporting the recovery of the local and wider economy.

Alternative options considered

Not to convert these properties for housing purposes. This option was rejected as it would not support the Council’s commitment to deliver a new generation of Council homes and these premises have no current use for commercial purposes.

To use alternative procurement routes. This option was rejected because there is no viable alternative procurement route for this opportunity: the value is too large to run a competitive tender via the Council HPCS portal, and too small to procure the works via the London Construction programme (LCP) Major Works 2019 Framework Agreement. This therefore leaves the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing Scheme (DPS) as the only route to market.

To retain the land at 27 Harvey House within the General Fund. This option was rejected for two reasons. Firstly, because while a budget for this scheme has been made available within the HRA there is no appropriate budgets available in the General Fund to convert the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 241.
