Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Early Years, Children and Families considered a report which sought approval to enter into a contract with London Borough of Enfield (Enfield) to provide hearing impairment outreach services to children and young people with Special Educational Needs, who are attending the school in Enfield.  This approval was sought retrospectively as the contract commenced on 1st April 2020.

 

The Cabinet Member noted an amendment to paragraph 6.1 of the report which should read “The objectives of the Hearing Impairment service are aligned with the priorities within the ‘Borough Plan – Priority 2 (People)’ specifically…”

 

The Cabinet Member RESOLVED to approve the entering into an agreement with Enfield Council to provide Hearing Impairment Outreach Services to Enfield Council for a period of 3 years commencing from 1st April 2020, with Enfield Council having the option of extending for two further periods of 12 months each (as allowed under  Regulation 9.11 of the Financial Regulations (Constitution Part 4, Section I)). The annual value of the contract is £210,000 and £1,050,000 for the life of the contract (if the option for the two ‘one-year’ extension is taken up).

 

Reasons for decision

 

Enfield and Haringey Councils work closely together with the children who are identified as deaf or hearing impaired. Following a competitive procurement process conducted by Enfield Council, Haringey council has been successful in securing the contract for these services for 3 years.
