Mediation Services Mediation can be a more effective and positive way of resolving individual disputes and grievances Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution where an independent and impartial third party discusses the issues in dispute with the parties involved The process is conducted with the aim of helping the parties involved to find an acceptable solution to their dispute A mediator cannot impose a solution both parties must agree to it Although mediation can take place at any stage in a dispute it is generally most effective if used soon after a problem has arisen

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

Mediation Services Mediation can be a more effective and positive way of resolving individual disputes and grievances Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution where an independent and impartial third party discusses the issues in dispute with the parties involved The process is conducted with the aim of helping the parties involved to find an acceptable solution to their dispute A mediator cannot impose a solution both parties must agree to it Although mediation can take place at any stage in a dispute it is generally most effective if used soon after a problem has arisen

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Mediation Services Mediation can be a more effective and positive way of resolving individual disputes and grievances Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution where an independent and impartial third party discusses the issues in dispute with the parties involved The process is conducted with the aim of helping the parties involved to find an acceptable solution to their dispute A mediator cannot impose a solution both parties must agree to it Although mediation can take place at any stage in a dispute it is generally most effective if used soon after a problem has arisen

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

General Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only Budgets for insurance are delegated to special schools and the pupil referral service so they must make arrangements for sufficient insurance cover for buildings contents and staffpupils and visitors to their schools The service available from the Council is outlined in the page of this brochure called ldquoGeneral Insurance and Risk Management and provides economies of scale through the Council insurers Special schools and the pupil referral service need to purchase Service A and it is recommended Service B is also purchased to provide additional cover for contents water damage etc

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

General Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only Budgets for insurance are delegated to special schools and the pupil referral service so they must make arrangements for sufficient insurance cover for buildings contents and staffpupils and visitors to their schools The service available from the Council is outlined in the page of this brochure called ldquoGeneral Insurance and Risk Management and provides economies of scale through the Council insurers Special schools and the pupil referral service need to purchase Service A and it is recommended Service B is also purchased to provide additional cover for contents water damage etc

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

Mediation Services Mediation can be a more effective and positive way of resolving individual disputes and grievances Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution where an independent and impartial third party discusses the issues in dispute with the parties involved The process is conducted with the aim of helping the parties involved to find an acceptable solution to their dispute A mediator cannot impose a solution both parties must agree to it Although mediation can take place at any stage in a dispute it is generally most effective if used soon after a problem has arisen

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

Mediation Services Mediation can be a more effective and positive way of resolving individual disputes and grievances Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution where an independent and impartial third party discusses the issues in dispute with the parties involved The process is conducted with the aim of helping the parties involved to find an acceptable solution to their dispute A mediator cannot impose a solution both parties must agree to it Although mediation can take place at any stage in a dispute it is generally most effective if used soon after a problem has arisen

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

Mediation Services Mediation can be a more effective and positive way of resolving individual disputes and grievances Mediation is a voluntary form of dispute resolution where an independent and impartial third party discusses the issues in dispute with the parties involved The process is conducted with the aim of helping the parties involved to find an acceptable solution to their dispute A mediator cannot impose a solution both parties must agree to it Although mediation can take place at any stage in a dispute it is generally most effective if used soon after a problem has arisen

A team of trained mediators is now available that can help support the early resolution of disputes and improve working relationships between staff

In the event of particularly complex or sensitive cases it may be more appropriate to use the services of an external mediator In such cases the HR service will also endeavour to find a suitably qualified and experienced person and arrange for an appropriate introduction On engagement the external mediator will be responsible for invoicing the school directly for their services This will be in accordance with the mediatorrsquos terms and conditions or on the basis of the agreement reached with the school

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

with the Council

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

General Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only Budgets for insurance are delegated to special schools and the pupil referral service so they must make arrangements for sufficient insurance cover for buildings contents and staffpupils and visitors to their schools The service available from the Council is outlined in the page of this brochure called ldquoGeneral Insurance and Risk Management and provides economies of scale through the Council insurers Special schools and the pupil referral service need to purchase Service A and it is recommended Service B is also purchased to provide additional cover for contents water damage etc

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

General Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only Budgets for insurance are delegated to special schools and the pupil referral service so they must make arrangements for sufficient insurance cover for buildings contents and staffpupils and visitors to their schools The service available from the Council is outlined in the page of this brochure called ldquoGeneral Insurance and Risk Management and provides economies of scale through the Council insurers Special schools and the pupil referral service need to purchase Service A and it is recommended Service B is also purchased to provide additional cover for contents water damage etc

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Maternity Leave Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only The LA administers a maternity insurance scheme for maintained schools This provides cover for the full costs to the school for a member of staff who is absent on maternity leave

This insurance scheme is not available to academies and is paid for by maintained primary and secondary schools through a decision to de-delegate the budget from schools

De-delegation is not permitted for special schools or pupil referral units so this service is offered at pound4662 x per place

General Insurance - for Havering Special Schools and the Pupil Referral Service only Budgets for insurance are delegated to special schools and the pupil referral service so they must make arrangements for sufficient insurance cover for buildings contents and staffpupils and visitors to their schools The service available from the Council is outlined in the page of this brochure called ldquoGeneral Insurance and Risk Management and provides economies of scale through the Council insurers Special schools and the pupil referral service need to purchase Service A and it is recommended Service B is also purchased to provide additional cover for contents water damage etc

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

As part of the 2013-14 school funding reforms additional funding was delegated for services that were previously provided centrally For maintained Primary and Secondary schools the Schools Funding Forum makes decisions on de-delegating the budgets but for Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units de-delegation is not permitted The following services enable schools and academies to contribute towards pooled arrangements to continue to benefit from economies of scale and shared risk

What the Service can offer Trade Union Facility Time ndash For Havering Academies Special Schools and Pupil Referral Service In support of an employerrsquos legal obligations to allow reasonable facility time for trade union representatives to carry out trade union duties and training Havering funds facility time for branch secretaries based on the membership of the union This ensures broad representation of staff in Haveringrsquos schools and academies who are members of trade unions The trade union branch secretaries receive facility time as below Teaching Staff FTE Support Staff FTE NUT NASUWT ATL VOICE NAHT ASCL

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Any academy or school not contributing to these pooled arrangements will need to ensure there are adequate arrangements in place for trade union facilities The handling of any industrial relations matters will revert to a school based official or regional representatives and has the potential to lengthen a process Academies and schools not contributing will be responsible for making their own arrangements for covering work areastasks etc and costs associated with release of officials for representation or training

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

The funding for facility for maintained primary and secondary schools has been de-delegated in agreement with the Schools Funding Forum De-delegation is not permitted for academies special schools or the pupil referral service so to maintain the current arrangements charges are made at pound4 per pupil as contributions to a central pool administered by the LA

The pooled trade union facility time arrangements provide Consultation negotiation and representation for TU members on matters connected with terms and conditions

Attendance and representation at meetings with and on behalf of union members in relation to grievances disciplinaries restructuring andor redundancy pay amp grading appeals TUPE transfers health and safety and any other industrial relations issues where school based employees have a statutory right to representation

Representation for members at management meetings on matters of local and joint interest ie introduction of new policies notification about organisation change andor redundancy avoiding or resolving disagreement about working arrangements between management and employees at an early stage

Branch Secretaries who are funded through the pooled arrangements are senior and experienced trade union representatives with a good level of knowledge and expertise on employment matters

Hany Moussa (Senior Finance Officer -Schools Funding) bull 01708 433 895 bullEmail hanymoussahaveringgovuk

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Service Feedback

ldquoI have been involved in the Brokerage Service meetings from the start and have found the whole process to be most rewarding By sharing information the LA Business Development Manager was able to draw up a short list of companies who have tendered for a place on the service I was part of the interview panel which was a great experience and I truly believe all schools will benefit from having a list of companies to choose from who have gone through this processrdquo Christine OrsquoConnor - Business Manager St Josephrsquos Catholic Primary School Upminster

ldquoWhen I was asked to become involved in developing a brokerage service I immediately could see the value and benefits to schools from not only networking and working collaboratively but from having an approved list of suppliers of goods and services for schools

I believe that the brokerage service will be a fantastic resource for schools providing reliable and high quality sources of goods and services that will ensure best value reducing the risk to schools and the time consuming searches and vetting of service providersrdquo Susan Cumbers - Business Manager Corbets Tey Special School Romford

ldquoHaveringrsquos idea of organising a brokerage service for schools is a brilliant one Putting together this service has been a collaborative effort from schools across the local authority The process has been very informative as School Business Managers have been involved from day one This has allowed us to contribute and decide collectively

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

Schools activities scheme (includes cover for on and off site activities)

Due to the usual 100 take up of the optional extras and in agreement with the Headsrsquo Forum schools will be automatically included and prices circulated with an opt out option this negates the need for individual declarations

Additional Information Benefits In the event of a claim arising a claims service is provided liaising with the insurers their appointed solicitors loss adjusters and your school - if necessary attending court with your witnesses

Monitoring the claims statistics to provide risk management advice

Long Term Agreements To obtain some stability of premiums for the insurance portfolio the Council entered into a long term agreement with the insurance company for a period of five years The current agreements allow a discount of some 10 + 5 in return for a guarantee that the Council will renew its policies

The contract with the insurers is retendered on a regular cycle with an extension option to ensure competitive rates and value for money is obtained The contract was entered into on the 1st January 2008 and extensions agreed from 1st January 2013 - 1st January 2015

bull Market inflationary increases are accepted but any increase above this releases the Council from the agreement should we wish to do so

bull By purchasing insurance cover on a bulk basis the rates are very competitive and therefore it would be advantageous if the Council could indicate that your school wishes to continue to be included in the blanket Council wide contract for the next two years

bull Please indicate on the return your agreement (or otherwise) into entering into such a partnership

bull Should you decide not to take advantage of the Borough scheme you must ensure that your insurance portfolio is placed with a reputable insurer in the joint names of the Council and the school and that your policies have adequate sums insured and limits of indemnity to protect your governors the school and the Council

Your arrangements will need to be verified by the Council prior to entering into a contract

bull Please also bear in mind that whilst our current insurers are satisfied with the existing levels of security in schools another insurer may offer you a lower premium but require considerable improvements in both physical and alarm protection to your buildings and indeed many schools with non-standard structures may well experience difficulty in obtaining cover at all (eg buildings of timber construction)

Price of the Services For maintained primary and secondary schools budgets for the main insurance cover have been de-delegated so the cost of the core service at ldquoService Ardquo above is met centrally Schools will be advised separately of the cost of buying in the optional extras at ldquoService Brdquo

Timescales and Deadlines The optional insurance prices whilst on an opt out basis are advised in advance of renewal when terms are received from insurers

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

This service will provide schools with an insight on achieving best value cost sharing and the ability to share best practice and work more effectively across school

Well done Haveringrdquo Fokuo A-Yeboah School Business Manager Ravensbourne School

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st

Sp Brokerage Service Using Providers Outside of the Brokerage Arrangement We recognise that some schools may elect to source their own providers outside of the central brokerage scheme In response to this we would strongly advise schools to adopt the following process before deciding to proceed with an unapproved service provider

bull Always test the market before you make your final decision You may think that you are getting a good deal but there are always other providers that can deliver the same if not a better quality of service

bull Ensure that you follow the Councilrsquos Standing Orders and the Fair Funding scheme when making your purchase Pay particular attention to those sections relating to the obtaining of quotations

bull Produce a specification of the service that you require and ensure that it contains all the service elements that reflect your school needs This will enable you to get like for like quotes Ask the provider to make it clear if the price they are quoting does not include some of the elements

bull Establish Evaluation Criteria Always complete this before you request any quotations or conduct any tender exercise so that you know what you are looking for in a service provider in terms of quality delivery and price

bull Interview the providers and question them on their proposals and their service offer to ensure that you are confident that they can deliver the service to the standards that you expect and clarify any items that may be unclear Take up references where the service has been delivered to other schools Take extra care when the provider has no schools experience as you could potentially be taking on extra risk

Contracts Do not proceed with this provider until you have a contract signed by both parties If you use a contract from a provider check the small print and ask a suitably qualified professional to read this before you sign For some services it is a requirement that certain returns and information is required for the authority to carry out its strategic functions

bull Make sure that this is covered in the contract and that it is made clear to the provider that these returns are provided by the deadlines required Ensure that the contract details all your requirements and the roles and responsibilities of the school and provider are made clear in the contract Once the contract is signed it is too late to add items that you may not have thought of at the time

bull Make sure that the agreement includes a provision that you can terminate the contract in a reasonable time scale if required

bull We would suggest 3 months (This is the ideal notice period but companies may require longer)

bull Where appropriate staff supplying the service should have had an enhanced DBF check

bull Ask to see the disclosures and monitor that they are kept up to date

How to purchase and timescales Purchases should be completed on the services for schools portal (wwwhaveringeducationservicescouk) Maintained schools - 30th April 2015 Academies - 23rd July 2015

Contract duration and notice period Contract duration is typically 1 year 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 for LA maintained schools and 1st
