The Cabinet Member Signing meeting was scheduled to discuss several key contract awards and a significant development project. Topics included the provision of operational vehicles, fire doors, and the construction of new council homes on the Tiverton Estate.

Award of Contract for Operational Vehicles

The meeting was scheduled to consider the award of a short-term contract to Northgate Vehicle Hire Ltd for the provision of operational fleet vehicles. This contract, valued at a maximum of £3,000,000 over two years, was intended to cover the needs of the Housing Services and Hard Facilities Management teams. The report indicated this would allow time for a wider analysis of council fleet requirements and a procurement process for a longer-term contract, aiming to align with council policies, including net zero ambitions. The report highlighted that this interim contract was essential for service delivery across Responsive Repairs, Voids, Facilities Management, and Planned Works, as the previous contract had expired. The use of the Pretium Total Fleet Solutions Framework was noted as a compliant and rapid route to market.

Approval to Award Contract for Fire Doors and Works

A key item on the agenda was the approval to award a contract valued at £12,500,000 plus inflation for a programme of fire-rated door replacements and associated fire safety works within Haringey Council's housing stock. This programme includes flat entrance doors, communal doors, and riser/service cupboard doors, as well as passive fire safety works and decorations. The report emphasised that the safety of residents is paramount, referencing the recommendations from the Grenfell Tower fire and the Dame Judith Hackitt review. The contract aims to ensure compliance with current legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety Act 2021, and the Building Safety Act 2022. The programme is intended to take five years to complete, with this award being for the first of two contracts.

Approval to Deliver Council Homes and Let Construction Contract within Tiverton Estate Boundary

The meeting was scheduled to consider the approval for the appointment of a contractor to undertake the new build development of seventeen new council homes on the Tiverton Estate¹ in N15 6RR. This development includes two fully wheelchair accessible homes, to be let at social rent. Detailed planning permission had been submitted for the project. The report also sought approval for the appropriation of the land for planning purposes to facilitate the development process, allowing the Council to override third-party interests and rights, subject to engagement with potential claimants. The proposed buildings are designed to Passivhaus principles to achieve high levels of energy efficiency, incorporating measures such as triple-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels, and air source heat pumps. The scheme aims to achieve Passivhaus Low Energy Building status. The development is intended to contribute to the Council's commitment to building new council homes and supporting the GLA 21-26 Affordable Homes Programme. A formal tender process had been undertaken via the London Construction Programme (LCP) Framework Lot 1.1, with six submissions received.

Direct Award for Voids Works to HCBS and PSL Properties

The agenda also included a discussion on a direct award for voids works to HCBS (Housing Centre Building Services) and PSL (Property Services Limited) properties. This item was listed as exempt information, suggesting it contained details relating to the financial or business affairs of particular persons or the authority.

Award of Contract for Provision of Operational Vehicles

Consideration was also scheduled for the award of a contract for the provision of operational vehicles. This item was also listed as exempt information.
