RELATED DECISIONS

Cabinet Procurement Committee approved the Business Case report in its meeting of the 15th March 2016.The reportrecommended the appointment of the Crown Commercial Service as the energy purchasing agent for the Council and also for the Group Director of Finance and Corporate Resources to engage the service provider for future years’ purchases

REASONS FOR DECISION/OPTIONS APPRAISAL.

This report provides Cabinet Procurement Committee with the results of the “risk managed flexible purchasing” exercise carried out on behalf of the Council by Crown Commercial Service (CCS) between Oct 2018 and March 2019 for all gas and large electricity supplies (Half Hourly including public street lighting) to secure a twelve month contract.

The report also provides the outcome of the purchase carried out by CCS who were also appointed to purchase the Council’s small electricity supplies (NHH supplies) based on the delegated authority provided by Cabinet Procurement Committee to the Group Director of Finance and Corporate Resources in March 2013.

The current contract prices for all supplies include those large (HH) Half Hourly electricity supplies including Unmetered (UMS) public street lighting, all gas and small (NHH) Non-Half Hourly electricity supplies for the year commencing 1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020 were presented to the Council during April and May 2020. 

This year’s contracted prices (pence per unit) for the NHH electricity supplies are estimated at 19% higher than last year’s prices. Increases in energy prices are due to a number of reasons. The increase in this cost is  quoted by the  suppliers as due to factors including  an increase to 3rd party costs, commodity rates, renewable levies as well as transmission and distribution costs.

Contracted gas prices (pence per unit) are estimated at  28%  higher than last year’s prices. Gas prices has been impacted by concerns about nuclear availability, gas storage, and declining European gas production. Since the start of the winter, prices have fallen on the back of mild weather and a significant increase in deliveries of liquefied gas into Europe.

Note from the Governance Services Manager

Items 13 – 16 allow for the consideration of exempt information in relation to items  6 – 9 respectively. Item 17 is wholly exempt and does not have an unrestricted item.

RESOLVED

That the delegated authority notification in respect of the  provision of Vehicle Maintenance Services be noted.

The Chair asked for a brief  introduction.

The  the Corporate Fleet Manager – Mr Harding advised the Committee that in October 2018 a business case had been brought to the Committee requesting permission to tender for the renewal of Hackney’s vehicle maintenance contract noting that the tender route would be to use an existing framework with 7 suppliers. The Committee had approved the business case but on the understanding that on award of contract officers would be expected to use the contract period to put in place everything required to bring the service back in-house at the end of that contract.

Mr Harding advised that the tender process was conducted but unfortunately, returned only one bid, which, despite extended negotiations proved to be unaffordable. Furthermore the prospective supplier wanted to change a number of key terms of contract that would stop LB Hackney effectively policing the contract from a quality point of view and would allow the contractor to uplift prices for various situations in addition to normal inflation. In July 2019 the tender and further negotiations were abandoned.

Mr Harding commented that as Hackney Council was a truck & bus operator there would be a number of legal obligations to meet with regards to its Operators Licence, one being to have either an in-house vehicle maintenance service or a contracted provision. The Council had been heading for a situation of having neither which would have put the Council in breach of its Operators Licence and it would be deemed to be professionally incompetent in the eyes of the Traffic Commissioner.

Mr Harding informed the Committee that as a result officers had entered into immediate negotiations with three suppliers that expressed an interest in providing a short term service provision for 12 months on the understanding that they would help bring the service back in-house. A basic service level agreement was provided, T&C’s negotiated, a Delegated Powers Report written, approved by the CEO, and a local supplier awarded the short term contract. A service provider started the first week of September providing the services initially from our Andrews Road workshops and once settled would  provide services from our satellite workshop at Millfields depot.

Mr Harding went on to advise that the contractor was aware that  the Council would be looking to bring the service in-house in 2020. It was acknowledged that there were numerous challenges to overcome before the service could be brought  in-house, and the contractor had agreed to assist with this process where they were able to. Mr Harding further commented that regard to the challenges the service provider would assist with these would centre on  recruitment to TUPE, supply chains and supplier expectations, exploration of organisation structures & shifts, and strategic & targeted training.

Mr Harding also advised that in respect of the challenges where there would not be any scope for assistance these would mainly be in the areas of purchasing outside of CEDAR, paperless fleet management software implementation, resource utilisation / productivity / commercialisation, capital  ...  view the full minutes text for item 9.

This report seeks the approval of Cabinet Procurement Committee for the appointment of a new cafe operator for Clissold House and Park, with the contract starting in November 2019.

At this point in the proceedings Councillor Selman relinquished and Councillor Rennison took the Chair, having arrived at 18.15hrs during discussion of the previous item.

COUNCILLOR RENNISON IN THE CHAIR

RESOLVED

That approval be given to the award of the Concession Contract for Clissold House and Park Cafe to Provider C, as detailed in Table 1 of Exempt Appendix One to the report, for a period of five years commencing in November 2019.

  RELATED DECISIONS

A Low Risk Business Case requesting approval to carry out the procurement   process was signed by the Group Director for Neighbourhoods and Housing   on 18 April 2019.

  REASONS FOR DECISION/OPTIONS APPRAISAL.

  One of Hackney's best loved parks, Clissold Park, was opened in 1889 and has held a Green Flag award since 2006. Green Flags are awarded annually to the best green spaces in the country. Clissold Park and House were   renovated in 2011 as part of an £8.9 million Heritage Lottery Fund restoration project. Clissold House is a Grade II* listed building in the middle of Clissold Park that hosts community bookings, weddings, meetings and parties.

  The café in Clissold House is currently operated by a service provider. It is open to the public seven days a week (except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) from 8.30 a.m. – 4 p.m. As well as being a popular destination for park users, the cafe contributes income to the Parks and Green Spaces Service, helping pay for maintenance of Clissold Park and other green spaces across Hackney.

  The contract with the current service provider ends in October 2019, and a new operator is required to run the cafe from November 2019 for a period of five years.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS (CONSIDERED AND REJECTED)

  As part of the Business Case approved prior to the procurement process, the following options were considered:

  In-sourcing

  The catering provision was deemed to be unfeasible for this service. An

  In-sourcing report has been appended to this report in Exempt Appendix 2.

  Do Nothing

  The current contract cannot be extended further. If a new contract is not awarded before the existing contract expires then the current operator would be delivering without contract, or the provision would cease without an alternative solution in place.

  External Framework 

  No external procurement frameworks were identified that would be suitable to this contract. 

At this point in the proceedings Councillor Selman relinquished and Councillor Rennison took the Chair, having arrived at 18.15hrs during discussion of the previous item.

COUNCILLOR RENNISON IN THE CHAIR

The Chair asked for an introduction to the report.  The Chair also advised that this report was being considered under General Exception procedures in accordance with the rules set out in the Council’s constitution.

The Parks Development Manager – Mr Sam Parry advised the Committee that Hackney Council was currently seeking a new cafe operator for Clissold House and Park. Clissold House and Park were renovated in 2011 as part of an £8.9 million Heritage Lottery Fund restoration project. Clissold House is a Grade II* listed building in the middle of Clissold Park that hosts community bookings, weddings, meetings and parties. The renovated café re-opened in 2012, and occupied part of the ground and first floor of Clissold House. It benefitted from outdoor seating and a pleasant landscape setting, with the children’s playground, animal enclosure and tennis courts in close proximity.

Mr Parry further commented that as well as being a popular destination for park users, the cafe contributed income to the Parks and Green Spaces Service, helping to pay for the maintenance of Clissold Park and other green spaces across Hackney. The new café concession contract would contribute £50,000 a year to the Libraries, Leisure and Green Spaces Service’s budget, from a base rent charged to the cafe operator. There would also be a profit sharing element within the new contract, based on a percentage of annual turnover over £500,000, which would contribute further to the Service’s budgets.

Mr Parry further commented that the contract with the current service provider ended in October 2019, and a new operator was required to run the cafe from November 2019 for a period of five years. An Invitation to Tender was advertised in May 2019, with 4 operators expressing an interest in the opportunity. Following a competitive procurement exercise, it was recommended that the contract is awarded to Provider C (as detailed in the exempt appendix to the report) for five years.

The Chair thanked Mr Parry for his informative introduction and asked if there were any questions from Members.

Councillor Burke referred to the recently declared climate emergency and asked if these related carbon reductions could be included in the next contract.  Councillor Burke also asked how would officers work with the successful company on further sustainability measures.

In response Mr Parry advised that in respect of the related carbon reductions issue these would be included within the next contract.  In respect of working with the successful company on further sustainability measures Mr Parry advised that sustainability answers outlined by the successful tenderer should be seen as initial proposals. The successful bidder had committed to working with the Council on further sustainability matters going forward, and a review of such initiatives such as the use of compostable products and elimination of single use plastics, was planned.

This report seeks the approval of Cabinet Procurement Committee to the procurement strategy for an adult integrated drug and alcohol treatment system contract for the City of London Corporation and the London Borough of Hackney.

RESOLVED

i.  That approval be given to the procurement strategy for an adult integrated drug and alcohol treatment system contract for the City of London Corporation and the London Borough of Hackney up to an annual maximum value of £4,930,850 for a period a five years commencing on 1 October 2020 with an option to extend for a further 2 years (plus 2 years) to a maximum contract value of £44,377,650; and

ii.   That it be noted that Young Hackney would continue to deliver the drug and alcohol service for young people (up to the age of 25 years) as in-house provision, subject to full service monitoring and review (as detailed in section 9 of the report).

RELATED DECISIONS

In February 2018 CPC agreed an STA for the existing contract until 30 September 2020 to allow for service review and redesign http://mginternet.hackney.gov.uk/documents/s59121/CDM-18849790-v3A-ISMS_CPC_Report_February_2018.pdf

OPTIONS APPRAISAL AND BUSINESS CASE (REASONS FOR DECISION)

Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, local authorities have the duty to reduce health inequalities and improve the health of their local population by ensuring there are public health services aimed at reducing drug and alcohol misuse. The 2015/16 public health grant included a new condition (that has remained in the most recent grant) that requires: A local authority must, in using the grant, “…have regard to the need to improve the take up of, and outcomes from, its drug and alcohol misuse treatment services…”[1]

The current contracts in the London Borough of Hackney (LBH) and the City of London (CoL) have been in place since October 2015. These contracts are due to end in October 2020 and the procurement outlined in this report will seek a joined up service across the two authorities into one integrated service managed as a unified system. LBH will lead on the overall contract management of this new service, with CoL having continued oversight and involvement.

Case for change: Individuals who engage or require engagement with specialist drug and alcohol services have changed over recent years. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

-  An ageing treatment population whose complex and/or multiple health and social needs require additional and wrap-around support

-  individuals with co-occurring substance misuse and mental health needs

-  A reduction of alcohol only service users engaging with the treatment service

The needs of LBH and CoL in regards to specialist drug and alcohol treatment has been reviewed extensively including the publication of a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) Substance Misuse Chapter (http://www.hackneyjsna.gov.uk), and a significant consultation exercise which sought the views of service users (including current and potential), professional drug and alcohol practitioners, direct partners (such as local GPs, police custody suite officers etc.) and a number of other stakeholders. This has directly informed the design of the new service specification.

The new contract will provide opportunities for innovation in the service delivery and design through a flexible drug and alcohol service framework designed to enable greater responsiveness to the changing  ...  view the full decision text for item 12.

The Chair asked for an introduction of the report.

Ms Amy Harmsworth - Public Health Strategist, Children, Adults and Community Health, advised the Committee that Hackney and the City of London had been working in collaboration to review and draw up proposals regarding the recommissioning of the separate specialist drug and alcohol services currently in place across the borough and the corporation.  

The current drug and alcohol services in the London Borough of Hackney (LBH) and the City of London Corporation (CoL) were separately commissioned in 2015. Both tenders were won by the same provider (Westminster Drugs Project), and City residents had benefited from having access to a wider service offer in Hackney (e.g. access to prescribing services, group work etc.). Both of the  contracts were due to end in October 2020.

Ms Harmsworth informed the Committee that over the last 10 months significant targeted consultation with key stakeholders had been completed, including service users, staff, potential providers and partners. A design Steering group was established with senior members across the Council and City of London Corporation, representatives from the integrated workstreams, GPs and the CCG to aid with the focus and design of the new service. The needs and available data concerning substance misuse within the City and Hackney were also researched and analysed in the new joint strategic needs assessment chapter on substance misuse. 

Ms Harmsworth advised that the Committee were being asked  to approve the recommissioning of the City and Hackney services together as one integrated service. This would continue to provide economies of scale for the CoL, as well as provide value for money across the local authorities that would share the costs of management fees and overhead charges from an external provider(s). 

In terms of making a case for change of the provision Ms Harmsworth advised that it was a fact that individuals who had engaged or required engagement with specialist drug and alcohol services had changed over recent years. This included, but was not limited to an ageing treatment population whose complex and/or multiple health and social needs require additional and wrap-around support,  an increase of individuals with co-occurring substance misuse and mental health needs, and a reduction of alcohol only service users engaging with the treatment service, despite estimated need remaining unchanged. This was illustrated locally within a recently completed Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) Substance Misuse Chapter which analysed and reviewed the current needs of drug and alcohol users across Hackney and the City.

With regard to the new Service Proposal Ms Harmsworth advised that the main  changes from the previous service was as follows: 

·  Integrated City and Hackney Service - This would be one integrated City and Hackney Service managed as a unified system 

·  Increased Outreach - The current model was traditional in nature, whereby drug and alcohol users were expected to attend a treatment hub to receive treatment. Whilst there was still a requirement for a treatment hub in this service, the service would now  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
