Three Westminster City Councils, consisting of Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and Hammersmith & Fulham Council, have agreed to join together to create a shared service IT framework.

The framework will be managed by Agilisys, who will provide service desk and integration services alongside management services, with the full framework to be in place by autumn next year.

Westminster City Councillor Melvyn Caplan, Cabinet Member for Finance, Resources and Customer Services, said: “The vision of the Tri-borough programme is combining services to tackle common problems, improve people's lives and make public money go further".
