Appendix 1 - Presentation to Programme Board (5 March 2018) Appendix 2 – Hub South West Development Process Appendix 3 – Site Selection Matrix Appendix 4 – 1140 Hours Infrastructure Establishment Data

1. Background

1.1 Members will be aware of the Scottish Government’s plan, developed in line with the terms of Children & Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, to expand early learning and childcare entitlement for all 3 and 4 year olds and eligible 2 year olds from 600 hours per year to 1140 hours per year by 2020. 1.2 The North Lanarkshire revised Early Learning and Childcare expansion funding bid, submitted for the Scottish Government on 7 March 2018, and reported to the Programme Board on 5 March 2018 (see Appendix 1), included a revised request for capital funds of £26.761m to build or refurbish premises, (£60.575m in the original bid). The Scottish Government has confirmed that the allocated funding to North Lanarkshire Council is £20.35m. This funding allocation does not include allowances for the purchase of land, demolitions or site abnormalities such as mine workings, contaminated land and services diversions. At this stage, therefore there is an affordability risk. Site investigations will be undertaken during Stage 1 which will inform whether significant overall programme value engineering will require to be undertaken. Section 4.1 of the report lists measures that could be considered should the need arise. The overall programme Risk Register is in the final stages of establishment together with associated Contingency Plan. 1.3 The Early Learning and Childcare expansion team has been working with the Assets and Procurement Solutions team to identify appropriate sites across North Lanarkshire. The initial drive to provide a local authority nursery place to children who live in SIMD 1 – 4 in the first instance, ensuring that all of these children can be allocated a place in a local authority early years setting within 1 km of their home is a strategy that has been maintained.

1.4 A New Project Request was submitted to Hub South West who appointed a Tier 1 contractor to support the Stage 1 process Development. It is anticipated that Stage 1 will be complete by mid-November 2018 with a maximum fee liability not exceeding £500,000. 1.5 The following are the additional early learning and childcare physical infrastructure requirements to support the delivery of the programme:-

 9 new build family learning centres;  2 repurposing of council assets; and  7 adaptations/extensions to existing schools.

2. Report 2.1 Hub South West New Builds Hub South West has been approached to take forward the new build projects. Appendix 2 outlines the details of this engagement. The Hub South West model is seen as a strategic long−term approach to the procurement of public sector based infrastructure projects across Scotland. By delivering value for money projects through Hub South West, the development timescales would be met; while value-for-money could be ensured through a tested procurement route by early involvement of a contractor. As signatories to the Territories Partnership Agreement, the Council contract directly with the Hub; with the Hub sub-contracting with the successful tenderers and providing a project management role.

Hub South West undertook a mini-tender exercise involving all the Tier 1 contractors currently on their supply chain. Following tender evaluation and interview, Morgan Sindall were selected to progress Stage 1 and 2 development of the nine new build projects (Appendix 2 sets out the details of the Development Process). Hub South West has also appointed Faithful & Gould as Project Managers and Commercial lead to ensure delivery of the initial two stages and oversee all commercial matters.

The Council’s liability is limited to each Stage without obligation to proceed to the next Stage.

Morgan Sindall has appointed a design team to take forward Stage 1. The Council is able to realise the benefit of this team’s experience as they developed the Scottish Futures Trust reference nursery projects.

Asset & Procurement Solutions will manage the Stage 1 and 2 development process of this significant Ambition programme.

2.2 Indicative Programme

Estimated programme milestone dates for the new builds are as follows:

 Stage 1 – delivery for approval by mid-November 2018;  Stage 2 – delivery for approval is by May 2019;  Financial Close by July 2019;  First build commencement - July 2019; and  Full completion by August 2020

2.2.1 Site visits have been undertaken and the following preferred locations identified (Appendix 3 sets out the site selection criterion and scores). Tables 1 to 4 detail the outcome of the site selection evaluation.

St Gerard’s Primary School adaptations are currently on site and are due for completion during 4th quarter of 2018. Hope Street nursery tenders have been returned and evaluated. Work began on site at the end of August with completion scheduled for early January 2019.

St Serf’s Primary School designs and tender documents were completed and issued in August 2018.

Appendix 4 contains the current list of all establishments from which future early learning and childcare provision will be delivered.

2.5 Statutory Process

Early engagement with Planning, Roads and Building Standards will be undertaken.

2.6 Programme

Build programmes for the repurpose and adaptation/extension projects are in preparation to ensure full delivery in accordance with the overall programme timeline.

2.7 Additional Capacity – Registration of Outdoor Space Greater utilisation of the registered outdoor space as an integral learning environment is a prominent feature of the Council’s plan. The Care Inspectorate will register outdoor space for 20% additional capacity where an early years setting demonstrates a clear understanding of outdoor learning. North Lanarkshire Council has a strong track record in early year’s outdoor learning. 15 staff are trained in Forest Kindergarten at leadership level. North Lanarkshire Council is one of the 8 local authorities to whom Scottish Government is providing support, via the Inspiring Scotland Programme. This in kind support will include consultative advice and guidance on ensuring that North Lanarkshire’s outdoor service delivery model is of the highest quality. The intention is for the outdoor space at 40 early year’s settings across the authority to be registered. This will require assessment and investment in the outdoor play areas. A procurement exercise will be undertaken to purchase any necessary equipment to ensure these settings meet the appropriate standards. An associated training programme will be put in place for staff. The registrations will be phased over the next two years. 2.8 Support Services Meal Provision Another key delivery consideration which impacts on both the infrastructure requirements and the environment of early learning and childcare settings is that all children will be entitled to at least one hot meal per day. Facilities Support Service (FSS) are an integral part of the ELC expansion programme team. FSS are currently rolling out lunches to nursery pupils in family learning centres, nursery classes and independent partner providers across North Lanarkshire, prioritised by SIMD area.

Eight establishments and 120 children, as set out in Table 4, are involved in Phase 1, providing a hot meal to children attending nursery over lunch. Evaluations to date have been very positive with staff, parents and the children reporting many benefits. It is the intention to increase the number of establishments delivering hot meals as each establishment is ready to deliver. The focus will be on the 16 Family Learning Centres (FLC) initially and then prioritisation by SIMD area as the 1140 Hours recruitment process begins.

3. Equality and Diversity

3.1 Fairer Scotland

The strategy of the council is to target families who live in SIMD 1 – 4 to ensure that they have access to an early learning and childcare place within one kilometre of their home. Consideration has also been given to ensure there is a mix of services within localities. There will be an investment in outdoor play areas across the authority area to give children every opportunity to experience increased health and wellbeing.

3.2 Equality Impact Assessment

No negative impact identified, this is a universal statutory duty for all 3 and 4 year olds and eligible 2 year olds. Ongoing engagement with families will inform the Equality Impact Assessment process.

4. Implications

4.1 Financial Impact

The methodology underpinning the allocation of capital awards to local authorities was established in conjunction with COSLA. Whilst the Scottish Government funding allocation fully recognises the overall volume and type of facility requested by each authority, the grant award is also based on their generic estimate of standardised construction costs for each new build/refurbishment, rather than the cost metrics submitted by individual authorities during the bid process

For NLC the confirmed Scottish Government capital allocation of £20.53m, is £6.411m lower than the Service’s revised bid.

At this stage it is not possible to accurately determine whether there will be an actual shortfall as the finalised capital costs will not be determined until the conclusion of the tender exercise for each project. The Service will closely review tender awards to identify emerging patterns and issues, and report on these matters through the Council’s established capital monitoring/governance arrangements.

In terms of explaining the variation in cost metrics further discussions and information provided by the Scottish Government has for example highlighted their calculations do not include a provision for the purchase of land, or demolition/remediation of sites. Conversely the Scottish Government considers authorities will achieve cost benefits and economies of scale through delivery of large elements of their programmes through the established HUB’s.

At this stage it is still the Service aim to deliver the programme within the overall funding package offered by the government. However taking cognisance of the potential funding shortfall the Service will have to prepare contingency plans and consider options available through the established contract management and planning protocols. This will include value engineering, exploring other options of service delivery, supplementing the available capital budget from internal resources, or a combination of each of these options. Specific actions the Service could take include:-

 Adaptations and extension works will be reviewed and a new mapping exercise undertaken to ascertain the nearby early years settings that can be converted from term time to the 2:1 model. Children will require transport;

 New builds still to be started will be reviewed and a new mapping exercise undertaken to ascertain any early years settings that can be converted from term time to the 2:1 model. Children will require transport;

 Currently the plans include 43 establishments that with very small scale investment will be able to register their outdoor areas by 20% of their capacity. As well as the above, Education, Youth & Communities would look to increase the number of establishments which could increase their capacity by 20%. If the Service does consider alternate capital delivery options, there would also have to be a parallel exercise to consider the knock on impact on the revenue costs of the 1140 programme. In addition a further assessment of the achievement of key Service outcomes such as the strategy to ensure 3 and 4 year olds living in SIMD 1 – 4 are able to access an early years place within 1km of their home would be undertaken. The Service could also consider supplementing the available capital funding, if resources can be identified within existing Early Years revenue budgets to underpin the ongoing capital costs. This option will be contingent on delivering an actual 1140 hours service with ongoing revenue costs that are broadly equivalent to the current modelling assumptions. 4.2 HR/Policy/Legislative Impact

There is a statutory requirement to deliver 1140 hours to all 3 and 4 year olds and eligible 2 year olds by 2020.

There requires to be a change to the current North Lanarkshire Council nursery admissions policy to ensure children who reside in SIMD 1 – 4 are prioritised.

4.3 Environmental Impact

4.3.1 Access to local childcare services will provide environmental benefits in terms of carbon footprint reduction, by reducing emissions, with parents having quick and easy access to their children for pick-up/drop off.

4.3.2 The new builds and adaptations will be constructed in line with energy efficient practice and will have a reduced carbon footprint in comparison to existing early years settings.

4.4 Risk Impact

The current key physical infrastructure risks relate to:

 matching the Scottish Futures Trust costs and area metrics.  site abnormalities; and  programme and costs associated with the site and the need to demolish a building located within a conservation area.

5. Measures of success

5.1 Timescales are met to ensure that North Lanarkshire parents can access 1140 hours of quality early learning and childcare by August 2020.

HUB SOUTH WEST PROCESS

The Hub process is delivered through three key Development Stages before a construction contract is agreed with limited financial liability for the Council at each Development Stage. The Council are able to terminate the engagement at each Development Stage without progressing to the next stage if necessary.

New Project Request (NPR)

An outline NPR has been submitted to Hub South West and is in the process of being agreed between the parties. This financially sets fee and development caps.

Once the NPR is accepted by the Board of Hub South West and this is agreed by North Lanarkshire Council the programme continues to Development Stage 1.

Development Stage 1

This comprises the development of a proposed scheme from a Strategic Initial Business Case / Initial Agreement through option appraisal, cost benefit analysis, site selection and initial design and feasibility leading to a preferred option that is developed to RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Stage 2 design, drafting of a cost plan, demonstrating value for money and affordability and assisting the client to develop an Outline Business Case for approval if required. Initial consultation with statutory authorities will be undertaken during this Stage including Planning, Building Standards and care Inspectorate.

Hub have appointed a Tier 1 contractor together with a design team to provide support across this Development Stage comprising: Project Manager/Architect / Cost Manager/Landscape Architect/Structural and Civil Engineer/Principal Designer.

The key deliverables from Hub are: Development Stage 1 Report containing cost plan, project objectives, project status report, options/benefits, value for money assessment, benchmarking data, risk register, design proposals both for the buildings and proposed sites, technical appraisal, KPI’s, project programme (including key participant deliverables), survey schedule, site investigations, Development Stage 2 programme and procurement plan, costs associated with delivery of development Stage 2.

At this Stage the Council as participant require to deliver: draft Authority Requirements (AR’s) (90%) adequate resource to oversee the development stages. elements of design freeze (e.g. area schedule and general arrangements).

Development Stage 1 is currently programmed to be delivered to the Council for approval by mid- November 2018 with a maximum fee liability not exceeding £500,000.

Once approved by the Council, Hub will continue to Stage 2 of the process.

Development Stage 2

This comprises reconfirming the Project Brief and Stage 1 criteria, developing the design through to RIBA Stage 3 and part of 4 design and includes detailed planning permission, development of a cost plan, demonstrating value for money and affordability. Thereafter Full Business Case approval can be sought and completing of all technical and legal documentation to enter into a building contract.

The Development Stage 2 Report will contain reaffirmation of project objectives, options/benefits, value for money assessment, technical appraisal, land/commercial/legal matters, KPI’s, project construction programme, Financial Close (FC) programme and the details of the Contractors Proposals including design drawings and specifications. During this Stage the projects are market tested by the Tier 1 contractor to arrive at the construction cost.

Development Stage 2 is currently programmed to be delivered to the Council for approval by May 2019. The liability associated costs will be determined and included within the Development Stage 1 report.

At this Development Stage the Council as Participant are required to deliver: agreed AR’s / Contractors proposals prior to procurement phase. Completion of main part of contract document. Final design freeze of all elements. Land availability. Draft Design and Build Development Agreement (DBDA) agreements.

Once approved by the Council Hub will continue to Financial Close.

The key deliverable is the final DBDA project agreement with relevant contract schedules. These are agreed between the Council and Hub. The Council’s Legal team provide the necessary support prior to the agreement being signed by both parties.

Financial Close is currently programmed to be reached by July 2019.

Once Financial Close is agreed construction works will commence immediately. Full completion of all nine projects is programmed for August 2020.
