Contact: Paula Crompton Ext: 5454 email [email protected]

How the conclusion in this report fits with the Corporate Strategy This scheme will impact on the delivery of the following Corporate Aims Aim 4 - Building strong and safe communities - by working with others to build strong, safe and sustainable communities Aim 5 - Improving services - by improving our performance to deliver services and manage resources

1		Summary
1.1		The annual review of the Risk Management Strategy was considered by BLPP at its meeting on 7 December 2005 and provisional resource allocations for 2006/7 were approved at the meeting on 4 April 2006. This report: · confirms progress with the Risk Management Strategy for 2005/6; · summarises the agreed actions and resources required to improve performance; · recommends that resources available are directed to the highest and most significant liabilities across the built estate.
2		Resource allocation
2.1		The risk profile informs the allocation of resources from the landlord's repairs and maintenance budgets and New Deal for School (NDS) Condition funding, which were reported to Members on 4 April 2005. Since April 2003, Members agreed to direct funding towards the highest priorities relating principally to fire, structural collapse, electrical safety and asbestos. The distribution of funding over the past five years is illustrated in Appendix 1 and described more fully in Appendix 2. Table 1 overleaf compares capital expenditure in 2005/06 with the proposed budget allocations for 2006/07 (excluding fees).
			Table 1 Risk Heading Expenditure 2005/6 Proposed Budget 2006/7 £000 £000 Fire including arson 614 1,250 Condition of building fabric 2,378 3,473 Failure to manage contractors 0 0 Asbestos disturbance 972 650 Electrical services failure 353 800 Swimming pool plant failure 228* 235* Detection of Legionella 68 235 Glazing and window safety 28 75 Access for maintenance to plant or buildings 22 200 Mechanical services failure 1,583 1,000 Structural collapse and temporary buildings 442 650 Other CRA priorities 572 667 Total 7,260 9,235
			* This is a revenue budget
	2.2		The capital repairs allocation for 2006/7 will continue to reduce maintenance liabilities for the highest strategic risks, whilst continuing to address the priorities within the strategic risk assessment to maintain performance in other lower risks. As can be seen in Table 1 an additional £2 million has been allocated in 2006/07. This will be used to address issues associated with the top two risks in particular fire precautions in older persons homes and condition liabilities in the education estate.
	2.3		Resources delegated to schools continue to increase and exceed funding available to the landlord for maintaining the other areas of the built estate. From April 2006, Government funding for schools is being provided by a separate grant - the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG), in addition to the NDS Modernisation investment, currently at £12m for 2006/07 and 2007/08. This means that adequate resources will be directed at schools to reduce liabilities , but to the detriment of the non-school estate, which do not benefit from additional funding streams.
	2.4		The proposed budget allocation of £9m in Table 1 (para 2.1) represents the optimum position to enable compliance with statutory inspections balanced against essential maintenance programmes, although high priority maintenance programmes, improvements and capital schemes in community buildings will have to be deferred.

3	Risk Management Strategy 2005/6
3.1	The strategic risk assessment and performance framework for the Built Estate for 2005/06 is attached at Appendix 2, with a commentary on each risk category to demonstrate progress. Members should note that the corporate programme requires the risk assessment to be subject to annual review in October each year, hence the current risk register is dated 2005/6, funded largely by resources available during the financial year 2006/7.
3.2		Key actions for 2005/6 includes:
		· Continue programme of structural fire precautions work to high priority residential buildings · Revise and reissue fire safety guidance to local managers following implementation of Fire Reform Order expected October 2006. · Implement annual action plan developed in partnership with Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service ( HFRS) under the joint working agreement. · Improve quality and reliability of asset management data for non-education buildings to inform programmes of work in 2006/7. · Revise and reissue working practice for managing contractors following implementation of new Construction, Design and Management Regulations expected April 2007. · Implement risk-based asbestos reinspection programme subject to consultation and member approval · Implement asbestos survey programme commencing April 2006 through appointment of Asbestos Surveying Consultancy Partners. · Develop and pilot new health and safety services to schools as part of the Service Level Agreements implemented from April 2007 · Establish term contract for minor building repairs and maintenance works · Replace wet cooling towers in Three Minsters House and Winchester Law Courts subject to available resources · Feasibility work for relocation of computer suite with improved back up arrangement to prevent loss of IT2000 services. · Report to Members on the number and condition of swimming pools at schools.
3.3		Key performance indicators for 2005/06 include:
		· Significant capital resources, £1,250,000 have been directed at fire precautions during 2005/06 largely within the non-education estate. This level of investment will implement a number of key improvements in Older Persons Residential homes, assessed as the highest risk category of buildings. (Appendix 1, graph 2 illustrates the expenditure over the past 5 years, where the budget has increased year on year commensurate with the highest risk to address the high priority structural fire precautions across the estate.)
		· Work is underway to revise the Fire Safety Manual to include new guidance when the proposed Fire Reform Order is introduced by the ODPM. Further delays to the introduction of the legislation has required further revision to the timescale for publishing the manual. The Order is now due for implementation in October 2006.
		· The new Partnership Agreement with Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service is ensuring best practice structural fire precautions are considered for all capital projects. Implementation of the annual fire action plan is helping to bring further improvements to fire risk assessments associated with new build and refurbishment projects.
		· Staff time has been directed at the collation of asset management data for the non-education buildings to help inform programmes of work in 2006/07. Unfortunately the introduction of the DSG will require high priority projects within the non-education sector to be deferred and replaced with school projects currently assessed as a lower priority.
		· New Construction, Design and Management Regulations expected April 2006 have been deferred until April 2007. This means that revision of working practice will also have to be deferred until 2007.
		· Consultations have begun on developing a risk based asbestos inspection programme to provide cashable efficiency savings to use for other asbestos improvement programmes. The development of a revised asbestos programme will be presented to the panel following consultation with the industry and HSE. (Appendix 1, graph 3 illustrates the expenditure over the past 5 years, where the budget has increased year on year to 2004/5 commensurate with the high risk rating.
		· The asbestos survey programme has commenced using the newly appointed asbestos surveying consultancy partners, to improve the quality of the information with the asbestos register and inform maintenance work managed by the schools.
		· Formal consultations with schools is underway to identify the specification and scope of the new health and safety services delivered under the Service Level Agreement from April 2007.
		· The tender process for the renewal of the term engineering contracts is now underway. Expressions of Interest were invited in accordance with the EU procurement rules and eight contractors were short-listed and invited to tender, with three contracts to be awarded. The tender documents were issued during April 2006 with a view to selecting preferred contractors by the end of the summer. This allows sufficient time to finalise the details of the contracts and for the new contractors to mobilise, prior to commencing service delivery in April 2007 as a key feature of the new SLA with schools. Updates on the tender process will be reported to future Panel meetings through the regular procurement reports.
		· It was intended to replace the wet cooling tower in Three Minsters House during 2005/06 with a dry cooler located on the roof. Planning objections to the scheme have required an alterative solution to be developed with phase 1 of the implementation to be delivered during 2006/07. Discussions are advanced with the Hampshire Courts Management Committee to fund the replacement of the wet cooling towers to Winchester Law Courts.
		· The Ashburton Court Project will accommodate a new computer suite with improved back up arrangements to prevent loss of IT2000 services. The project team is investigating options with whole life costs.
		· A swimming pool strategy is well advanced to confirm the number of pools which should be supported by the County Council subject to approval by Head teachers and Members
4		Fire Safety Strategy

4.1	Work to define the Landlord's structural fire precaution programme this year has yet to be finalised and is awaiting the outcome of the Strategic Property Review which is currently underway. It is anticipated this year's programme will focus on Older Persons Homes which have yet to have improvements to their fire alarms and emergency lighting provision.
5	Conclusions
5.1	Introduction of the Dedicated School Grant will shift the balance of resources towards school buildings and away from the non-education estate. Capital resources will continue to be managed to achieve maximum impact in reducing maintenance liabilities and addressing strategic risk priorities.
5.2	Steady progress is being achieved through focused management action and capital investment according to the rank order and published improvement agenda. Enhanced capital investment is required to significantly reduce risk and associated liabilities, including the chance of criminal prosecution. Strategic risks are monitored biannually to quantify the level of risk retained by the organisation and provide information about resources required to control or eliminate each risk

Recommendation(s):
That the Buildings, Land and Procurement Panel advises the Executive Member for Policy and Resources that approval be given to
1	the progress on the implementation of Property Services Strategic Risk Register for 2005/6 at Appendix 2
2	the budget position for strategic risk assessment and the impact likely on the budget over the coming financial year
3	the proposed re-profiling of resources associated with the Dedicated School grant and uncertainty over future NDS funding beyond 2008 along with the impact on the liabilities associated with the non-school estate;

Green - Meeting best practice. Issues require little managerial attention until next review.

Appendix 2

Fire including arson
Fire including arson has been ranked the top risk to the built estate over the past four years. Older buildings do not meet current benchmark standards and these must be considered in the local fire management plan. Improving fire safety across the built estate is inextricably linked to the local management of fire, delegated to service departments and specifically each manager in control of the building. Current performance for the landlord is assessed as amber, since technical fire information has been provided to local managers for residential buildings. The new risk-based approach will assist with the gathering of technical fire information to inform landlord's annual programmes of work and local manager's fire plans. It is anticipated that a green performance will be achieved in 2 years, anticipated January 2008, subject to the current level of resources being made available.
	Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Implement agreed programmes of structural fire precautions work to residential buildings Older persons homes remain the highest risk category of buildings, followed by the other residential buildings. Structural fire precautions work has been completed at 11 homes with work in progress at a further 4 homes. Resources allocated for 2006/07 will enable work at the remaining 7 older persons homes comprising upgrading of fire alarms and emergency lighting. Publish strategic fire risk assessment for all buildings in priority order This remains an on going programme to follow the pilot completed in the Secondary Sector. Develop and publish an arson reduction policy and good design guide An arson reduction strategy was agreed in December 2005 with HFRS for implementation during 2006. A good design guide for designers is currently being developed but will need to await the final publication of the FSO guidance expected later this year. Develop and publish new fire safety guidance for local managers In development but now deferred due to the delays in introduction of new Fire Reform Order from April 2006 to October 2006.
	For the financial year 2005/06, a fire precaution budget of £620k was agreed of which £120k was set aside to respond to enforcement actions. This provided a planned capital programme of £500k within older persons homes including Bishops Waltham House, Thurlston House and Addenbrooke. A budget of £1,250k proposed for £2006/07 will enable the installation of new fire alarms and emergency light upgrading work to the older person homes to be completed, with a planned capital programme of £1m commensurate with the highest risk associated with the built estate. With the completion of the upgrading work proposed to fire alarms and emergency lighting in these properties the most significant concerns identified in the programmed structural fire precautions surveys in the older persons homes will have been addressed.

Condition of building fabric
	Ranked in second place, as a high risk, with an amber performance rating, this risk covers many issues relating to the maintenance and improvement to both internal and external parts of buildings. Where a separate heading features, for example electrical services, these risks are excluded from the assessment. The risk has increased to illustrate the increasing liability associated with the built estate, especially in offices and community buildings which have not benefited from NDS investment or the DSG. Asset Management Plans (AMP) have been used to generate £56m NDS funding over the past 4 years, and the liability can be quantified. Equivalent data is available for the non-education estate which ensures that annual programmes of work are directed at the highest priorities. Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Develop and implement asset management strategy for Community buildings (75%) 43% of community buildings surveyed and remainder programmed by April 2007. Continue delivery of asset management strategy for primary schools (20%) Programme delivered according to plan ie 220% of schools per annum. Annual Report to members regarding AMP outputs Next report planned autumn 2006 Implement agreed programme of work to both schools and community buildings NDS and capital programme of works approved by members in April 2006 Investment programmes for SCOLA recladding, external redecorations, reroofing etc all serve to reduce liabilities associated with condition of school buildings. The extensive knowledge and management framework with the schools sector finds the performance at green, subject to future allocations of resources. Notwithstanding the current investment, there is an outstanding maintenance liability within schools of £291m required to bring building to a full state of repair. With current levels of investment, estimated at £3m from Capital, allocated to the non-education sector it is not possible to achieve a green performance rating. To reflect the excellent progress made within schools, it is proposed that this risk is split into two categories during the annual review planned autumn 2006. A green performance assessment for the non-education sector is not anticipated in the next 5 years unless significant resources can be made available.

Contractor and supply chain
Failure of contractors and supply chains represents a significant risk and is ranked third (2nd in 2003/04 & 4th in 2004/05) on the risk register for 2005/06. The construction industry encompasses a wide range of activities, hazards, materials, techniques, employment patterns and contractual arrangements. Nationally, many people are injured on construction sites or have their health damaged by construction work. Despite robust checks on the competence and resource of all approved contractors, the understanding of health and safety by construction workers is limited. This coupled with poor planning and communications with occupiers and sub-contractors, provides a potential liability for the County Council as client.
	Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Revise and reissue working practice for managing contractors following implementation of new Construction , Design and Management Regulations expected April 2006. New Construction, Design and Management Regulations expected April 2006 have been deferred until April 2007. This means that revision of working practice will also have to be deferred until 2007. Review procurement arrangements to identify continuous improvements A separate report on the procurement initiatives completed by Property Services, together with a review of building cost trends and efficiencies was presented to this Panel. Develop key performance indicators to measure performance of contractors and key supply chains. Implement health and safety training in line with industry standards e.g national card certification. Costed training programme assessed at £10.2k during 2006/07 to deliver programme. Significant improvements have been made over the past five years and emphasis is now being placed on consolidating arrangements to maintain current performance, and the identification of minor improvements.

Asbestos disturbance
	Ranked in fourth place (4th in 2003/04 & 2nd in 2004/05) as a medium risk with a green performance rating for 2005/06. Significant achievement in the management of asbestos over the past 12 months has recommended a reduced risk score and rank order. Problems reported to Members in October 2004 have been resolved through recruitment and retention of competent staff to monitor asbestos repairs and removals and facilitate the asbestos surveys and inspection programmes. The table below summarises achievements and improvements to corporate performance: Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Establish asbestos surveyor partners to facilitate removal, repair, survey and inspection arrangements Asbestos surveyor partners appointed Implement asbestos removal programmes Limited asbestos removal programme planned to target areas subject to high vandalism or regular maintenance. Improve monitoring of asbestos removal contractors Staff resources directed at monitoring performance of asbestos contractors to ensure that planned safe systems of work are followed. Develop and implement risk based inspection programme commencing September 2006. Risk based inspection programme being considered. Despite reduced funding for 2005/06, progress has been made by recruitment of competent staff, thus bringing services in house that were previously contracted to external consultants. Further efficiency savings are planned in 2006/07 with the implementation of a risk-based inspection programme, although these will not offset the additional expenditure required to support asbestos removal programmes eg Three Minsters House and Yateley Infants School.

Electrical Services Failure
Ranked as equal fourth on the register with a green traffic performance assessment and previously at equal fifth place for the past 2 years. The risk describes fixed electrical installations across the estate, where the greatest threat is associated with vandalism or accidental damage to sockets and fittings. Two fires have been reported to be due to electrical failure (Nightingale and Harriet Costello schools) amounting to more than £1m loss of asset for each fire.
	Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Implement quinquinnial testing and inspection programme. Second cycle of 5 year testing programme due for completion May 2006. 2nd year of second cycle work to be tendered June 2006. Execute remedial work programme arising from 2005/06 T & I programme High priority remedial works to the value of £100k underway. Funding within 2006/07 budget to continue the programme of work. Undertake Capital work programme subject to available capital and NDS resources Capital programme completed illustrated by expenditure of £353k during 2005/06. Capital programme prepared 2006/07 and funding secured for NDS 2006/07. Relocation of computer suite with improved backup arrangements to prevent loss of IT2000 services. Feasibility work currently underway with IT Services and the Ashburton Court Project team. Service improvements to meet with best practice and maintain current green performance assessment for 2005/06 are listed below: There are limited opportunities to reduce expenditure and deliver the statutory inspection programme and urgent repairs within existing resources. There was over expenditure in 2005/06 which is likely to continue into the future, associated with the new test and inspection contract valued at £350k compared to the annual budget of £200k - this reflects the nature of the work and a move in the market. Unless additional resources of £150k pa can be found, test and inspection frequencies will have to slip back to an 8 year programme with an amber performance rating as reported in 2003/04.

Swimming Pool Plant Failure
	Limited resources allocated to the repair and maintenance and upgrading of swimming pools, to meet current standards, historically has seen an overall deterioration in condition illustrated by sixth position and amber performance assessment (moved from 9th position in 2003/04 to =5th position in 2004/05). Funding delegated to schools was part of the Education Committee's revenue budget. Until the outcomes from the Strategic Property Review are implemented the Council remains vulnerable to accidents and liability from pool users, especially vulnerable people such as those with a disability, babies and young children, and older persons. The likely outcomes of the Strategic Property Review will be to identify a small number of retained swimming pools for use by a defined cluster of schools to deliver the swimming curriculum to Key stage 2 pupils. Pools not included on the retained list will not benefit from central funding and investment and will be the responsibility of the Head teacher to maintain fit for use. All pools likely to be retained, have been surveyed to identify the costs to bring each one up to a satisfactory standard. These costs will be significant and require additional capital resources in order to implement the necessary improvements. Members requested a report on the number of swimming pools at schools and their condition and this is being prepared for a future meeting of the Panel. The report will also consider the outcomes of the review mentioned above. Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Introduce log books for each pool to provide active recording of maintenance activities All pools have step by step operating instruction on a wall mounted panel showing how the plant works and what needs to be done to facilitate operation of pool plant. Survey outdoor pools subject to approval of strategy by members and head teachers Survey deferred subject to Swimming Pool Strategic Review. Review resourcing of pool repairs and maintenance and find ways of charging back to establishment Work on hold subject to Swimming Pool Strategic Review Implement annual programme of work Work on hold subject to Swimming Pool Strategic Review

Detection of Legionella
	Assessed as a medium risk in equal sixth position, with a green performance rating, there has been significant achievement since Autumn 2003 to meet with best practice. This risk covers the growth of Legionella bacteria with the potential to cause ill health and infection to building users, especially the elderly, infirm, the very young or those with health problems. Capital programme works to older persons homes through ENHANCE and other projects have replaced hot and cold water systems to current benchmark standards, removing dead legs and reducing the risk. Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Complete replacement of wet cooling towers for Three Minsters House and Law Courts. Discussion are advanced with the Hampshire Courts Management Committee to fund replacement of wet cooling towers to Winchester Law Courts. Planning objections have required the roof mounted dry cooling plant to be reviewed for a local cassette cooling system to each room within Three Minsters House. Phase 1 of the cooling system will take place during 2006/07. Implement specific risk control improvements following survey and risk assessment Programme of remedial work drawn up with priorities and implemented, subject to funding allocated, in 2006/07. Publish web-based risk assessment form and Log book for local managers. Risk assessment tool and log book under development to be web-enabled later this year following a successful pilot programme Wet cooling towers are being effectively managed at Hampshire Scientific Services building in Southsea pending a long term decision on the lease and relocation of services.

Glazing and Window Safety
	Ranked in equal sixth position and amber performance rating, this risk describes window failure or damage to glazing which can create injury to building users or contractors. The following table confirms the key actions and performance during 2005/06: Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Develop term contract with specialist glazing firms, window manufacturers and installers Glazing work has been included in the building maintenance framework contract currently being negotiated with interested firms and reported to Panel in April 2006. Facilitate local risk assessment for community buildings through communication strategies. Letter sent to building managers to confirm legal responsibilities and duties. Implement agreed programmes of work including upgrading glass and associated remedial work Programme of work to Castle Complex buildings following recent survey by consultants. NDS programme provides glazing and window repairs in schools.
	Civil claims within schools have raised awareness of the importance of risk assessment and associated repairs and maintenance to windows. Schools are performing better than in the remaining estate where communication strategies are now implemented to encourage improved performance among local managers occupying community buildings.

Access for maintenance to plant or buildings
This risk describes safe systems of work for accessing plant rooms and other parts of the building for regular maintenance activities. Plant rooms are traditionally located on the roof, often with no fixed ladder or stair to access them by contractors. Following the introduction of the Work at Height Regulations 2005, a survey of high level plant rooms has been undertaken and 55 high priority situations identified, and over 200 items on the schedule with an estimated value of £1.44m to address all working at height issues. During 2006/07 £200k has been allocated to this risk so that 5 locations can be improved to reduce the risk associated with access by contractors.
	Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Maintain database to record the location and hazards associated with buildings and plant rooms where regular access is required for maintenance. New hazards are added to the database when identified by staff or contractors to update the rank order for future action. Implement annual programme of work subject to available capital resources. Programme of work identified to deliver £200k worth of improvements to about 5 locations. Develop practice note to confirm safe system of work at height and inform design of buildings to assist future maintenance programmes. Practice note under development to provide guidance to staff and contractors employed by Property Services.
	Currently, this risk is assessed as a medium threat to the Council with an amber performance rating. With the current level of investment a green performance rating is not anticipated for many years and the Council has to manage the risk and liability associated with the known hazards.

Mechanical Services Failure
	Ranked in tenth position (9th in 2004/05) with an amber performance rating, this risk describes mechanical engineering plant which has the potential for fire and explosions associated with failures, and bring about closure of operational buildings. During the past 12 months, two major projects were undertaken to replace pressure system safety valves and update oil tanks to meet with new regulations. A budget of £600k was allocated for this work based on the costs of pilot projects in 2004/05. Following negotiations with term contractors, outturn costs where less than £400k, demonstrating value for money in the use of resources. Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Complete asset management survey programme to ensure validity of plant records. Plant records update is now substantially complete although data on some smaller items of plant eg RPZ valves or water systems is still being gathered. Confirm inspections made by supplier for LPG All suppliers of LPG equipment have been contracted to remind them of statutory duties and responsibilities. Database is currently being compiled. Complete replacement programme of safety valves Safety valve programme is 90% complete with visits planned to sites where access was denied in 2005. Programme will be completed in 2006. Consideration is being given to the funding, safety and asset management of this risk to improve performance over the next 12 months.

Structural collapse and temporary buildings
Ranked in thirteenth position during the past 2 years(7th in 2003/04) with an amber performance rating, this risk delivers risk-based surveys of permanent and temporary buildings, ensuring buildings remain safe to occupy, reducing the risk of collapse and injury to building users.
	Agreed Actions 2005/06 Outcomes 2005/06 Deliver year 1 of 5 year programme - SCOLA repairs. Rollout of phase 1 of SCOLA wall tie remedial work will be a priority for 2006. Commence year 2 of SCOLA repairs programme in April 2006 In view of all progress against Year 1, Year 2 will be deferred with future programmes subject to the allocation of sufficient funding Develop and implement strategy for removal of temporary buildings from the non-education sector Strategy is being revised for communication to departments to facilitate removal of temporary buildings. Review strategy for removal of temporary buildings in schools The use of capital resources to remove poor condition, temporary buildings in the next 4 years will reduce the cost of inspections and eliminate risk in the foreseeable future. Having made considerable improvements in the past eighteen months, it is proposed to maintain current performance at green using in-house resources.
