Forward Plan of key decisions, 20 September 2021

Notice of forthcoming Key Decisions

Local authorities are required by law to give 28 days’ notice of any key decisions to be made. The
Forward Plan sets out information about the key decisions that Cabinet, individual Cabinet Members, the
Health and Wellbeing Board and the Better Places Joint Committee intend to make in forthcoming
months. It ensures public notice of all key decisions is provided at least 28 days’ in advance of the
decision date.

The Forward Plan contains information about each forthcoming key decision and is published to the
Council website every week, usually on a Monday.

What is a Key Decision?

The Lambeth Council Constitution defines a key decision as an executive decision that:

1)   Requires an amendment to the Community Plan Outcomes Framework or requires a
     recommendation to Full Council to amend the Budget and Policy Framework;
2)   Results in the local authority incurring expenditure, raising income or the making of savings in
     excess of £500,000; or,
3)   Has a significant impact on:
     a)   communities living or working in an area comprising two or more wards in Lambeth;
     b)   the wellbeing of the community or the quality of service provided to a significant number of
          people living or working in an area; or,
     c)   Communities of interest.

The majority of key decisions are taken by the Cabinet or individual Cabinet Members (the Executive).
Each Key Decision will be communicated via a comprehensive report which must be published at least
five clear days before the decision is taken. Published reports can be accessed through Decisions
Online. Cabinet reports will also be available in Cabinet agenda packs, which are published five clear
days before the meeting.

The Executive cannot consider key decisions that have not been included on the Forward Plan.
However, the Council Constitution sets out procedures that can be used if a decision that has not been
advertised on the Forward Plan must be taken immediately. Urgency procedures can only be used in
exceptional circumstances. For further information on Access to Information procedure rules please see
Part 3, Section 2 of the Council Constitution or contact Democratic Services.

What information is included on the Forward Plan?

The Forward Plan gives information about:
  key decisions that are likely to be considered in forthcoming months;
  the earliest date a key decision can be taken;
  who will make a decision;
  what consultation will be undertaken;
  whether the forthcoming report is likely to include exempt or confidential information;

                                                                                                 Page 2

     A list of background documents to be submitted to the decision maker for consideration in relation
      to the forthcoming decision; and,
     who you can contact for further information.

Public representations and further information

Each Forward Plan entry gives the name of the relevant officer to contact about that particular decision.
Where possible, a contact name, e-mail address and telephone number are provided.

Members of the public can make representations about forthcoming decisions by:
  Contacting the Lead Officer responsible for the report;
  Contacting the decision maker or relevant Cabinet Member (details can be found on the council
    website); and,
  Contacting Democratic Services.

Any document listed in the Forward Plan can be requested via the Lead Officer or by contacting
Democratic Services. The reader is encouraged to access any such documents electronically, however
copies or extracts may be made available at the following address on request: Lambeth Town Hall,
Brixton Hill, SW2 1RW.

When making representations, members of the public may submit to the decision maker any further
documents relevant to the decision.

All decision dates given in the Forward Plan are subject to change. Therefore, please ensure that you
always consult the latest version of the Forward Plan for the most up to date information. Any further
queries can be directed to Democratic Services.

Notice of decisions likely to contain confidential or exempt information

Local authorities are required to specify 28 days in advance of a Cabinet meeting all the reports that are
likely to contain confidential or exempt information. Should this be the case, a private ‘Part 2’ report will
be produced to accompany the main report but will not be published. The public and press may also be
asked to leave the Cabinet meeting for part of the proceedings. Any person is able to make
representations if they believe the decision should instead be made in the open part of the meeting.

If you wish to make any such representation please contact Democratic Services. All representations will
be documented in the relevant agenda a minimum of five clear days before the Cabinet meeting takes
place. This will also include any response to the representations and a statement of the reasons why the
meeting is be held in private.

For further information about exempt or confidential information please see the Access to Information
Procedure Notes in Part 3, Section 2 of the Council Constitution or contact Democratic Services.

Decision: SEND and Inclusion Strategy

The SEND and Inclusion strategy informs how Lambeth Council will further develop the SEND and
Inclusion offer in Lambeth over the next 3 years (2021 to 2024). This builds on the many strengths in
the local area and updates the strategy following the successful Ofsted/ CQC inspection in January
2020.

The strategy has been co-produced over a period of three years with input from young people,
parents, carers, service users, stakeholders and service providers across Education, Health and
Social Care.

Decision: Workwise Project – St Mungo’s – Extension

The St Mungo’s Workwise service provides employment and training services. The service is primarily
targeted at those in rented housing (Council tenants, private sector tenants and homeless in
temporary accommodation) who are in receipt of benefits and adversely affected by welfare reforms.
Welfare reforms including the Size Criteria, Benefit Cap and Universal Credit. The proposed report is
requesting for the service to be extended from 1st of May 2021 to 29th of April 2022. The service has
been very successful in supporting Lambeth residents into sustained employment and training
opportunities and has been instrumental in assisting Lambeth residents who have been furloughed or
lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The cumulative value of the contracts from February 2015 to April 2021 is £560,295.89. A further
extension for the 2021/22 financial year will increase that value by a further £100,000.

Decision: Provision of a Dynamic Purchasing System for Housing Planned Capital
Maintenance Projects

To approve the implementation of a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) to manage the Council’s £35m
planned maintenance spend for Housing.

Underpinned by the Council’s Asset Management Strategy, a Total Asset Solution is being
implemented, in pursuit of better quality, socially responsible and digitally driven services.
The bespoke DPS will support a more co-ordinated and agile project purchasing process for the
delivery of the Total Asset Solution and will also provide:
- a compliant procurement vehicle to manage tenders for the Council’s housing planned capital
maintenance project contracts,

                                                                                                Page 24

Decision: Capital Studio, Infrastructure and Capital Delivery Salaries CIL

The Capital Studio is the delivery arm of the Resident Services area, covering design and
construction of public realm and built environment projects. The service delivers large
programmes such as the Highways Investment Programme and major public realm and green
space schemes, such as in parks and cemeteries. The service is primarily funded through third
party grants, such as through Transport for London, and from within allocated project budgets.

The report seeks an allocation of £1,076m from the Lambeth Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
receipts to fund costs associated with staff costs for the Resident Services Capital Programme
delivered via the Capital Studio (Infrastructure and Capital Delivery).

This report seeks funding to cover establishment salaries which can’t be covered by project
budgets. The identified source of funding for this infrastructure is CIL, with other sources of
external and internal funding already having been secured to fund Capital Studio staff.

Decision: Parking Fees and Charges Inflationary uplift 2021/22

This report details the increase to the parking permit and on-street parking charges. The Mayor of
London’s Transport Strategy as provided by sections 142 and 144(1)(a) Greater London Authority Act
1999, emphasises the importance of reducing emissions and improving air quality.

Where possible Lambeth encourages a move away from vehicle use and ownership and promotes the
use of public transport, cycling and walking as sustainable and greener alternatives. Increasing
charges would contribute to achieving this so it is essential that through our permit and on-street
parking pricing that vehicle ownership is not seen as more economical than using sustainable methods
of transport. This report recommends advertising a notice and undertaking a consultation to increase
these charges.

Decision: Insurance Legal Services

Insurance legal services framework is outsourced to allow the council to deal with civil claims received.
The council has a legal obligation to comply with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) under which such
claims are required to be dealt with.
The current business model is still relevant as we will continue to receive claims for compensation, we
also must comply with our insurer’s requirements which state we must have a panel for claims that are
handled in house by our own claim handlers within our policy excess where necessary. The services
of the law firms on the framework are essential. Not having recourse to such legal support is not an
option and would leave the Council exposed to significant risk and increased costs. This is the case in
respect of the Redress Scheme or civil litigation cases.

Decision: Property Liability and Terrorism Insurance

Lambeth is a member of the Insurance London Consortium (ILC). The members of ILC have been
very successful in procuring its insurance policies to date.
Whilst the Council accepts an element of risk with regards to insurance claims and maintains an
insurance fund to cover such eventualities, it also procures ‘catastrophe’ cover through the insurance
market. This is the case for the property and liability covers.
