To seek approval to waive Contract Standing Order 6.05 (requirement to tender) for the commissioning of services for children under 5's in Haringey's Orthodox Jewish Community.
Decision type: Non-key
Decision status: For Determination
Decision due: 16 Feb 2010 by Cabinet Procurement Committee
Consultation process
The service continues to engage with the Orthodox Jewish Community and consult on the needs of children and families as part of a strategic multi-agency forum.
DMT date and early discussion between AD and Cabinet Member: Cabinet Member for Children and Young People with the Director of Children and Young People's Service.
SLT date: Approval will allow the service to commission culturally appropriate children's centre services. The range of providers available to deliver these services is limited to those organisations who have both specific and local cultural knowledge and understanding to ensure that Haringey's Orthodox Jewish children under 5 and their families are able to access local services. It is intended that the proposals will improve access to services, particularly for the more vulnerable and disadvantaged and enable support to be provided to families at the earliest opportunity.
