In addition to the direct contract that was procured with Amey, the three councils sharing services under the Tri-borough initiative can act as a central body for all of the London boroughs which enables you to procure facilities management services on a ‘call-off’ basis. This means that as a London boroughs or school, you have the opportunity to buy into TFM as partnering authorities through a ‘framework agreement’.

The Framework Agreement is already in place and is available for boroughs to call services from for four years. The framework contract will run for the same term as the Tri-borough Total FM contract Project Agreement.
- TFM services can be called off through an agreement between the authority and Amey, the service provider
- the framework is flexible and provides you with the right to agree specific limited amendments in relation to a particular call off
