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.
