South Essex Homes Partnership Agreement

15/03/2019 - South Essex Homes Housing Management Partnership Agreement

The Cabinet considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (People) proposing the extension of the existing Partnership Agreement between Southend Council and South Essex Homes and the continued development of the successor Agreement, together with timescales for this work.

 

Resolved:

 

1. That the extension to the current Partnership Agreement between Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and South Essex Homes, and the concurrent development of a new agreement, be approved.

 

2. That a new Housing Management Partnership Agreement for approval be submitted to Cabinet in September 2019.

 

Reasons for decision:

 

South Essex Homes provide vital services on behalf of the Council and its tenants and as such it is of importance that the agreements in place between the organisations are progressive, robust and in line with the ambitions set by the Council on behalf of local people through Southend 2050.

 

In order that the new Housing Management Partnership Agreement effectively translates the actions and ambitions into a useful contract that supports both organisations’ roles further time is required to incorporate recent and emerging developments.  To allow for this, use of the available extension to the existing agreement is required.

 

Other options:

 

To reach agreement between the Council and South Essex Homes over the current draft of the new agreement.  However, this would not fully assimilate the requirements imparted through any Better Queensway partnership developments nor fully align with the Southend 2050 Outcome Delivery Plans as both areas of work remain in development.

 

Note: This is an Executive Function.

Eligible for call-in to: Policy and Resources Scrutiny Committee

Cabinet Member: Cllr Cox
