TM's performance contracts were developed to meet the needs of ever discerning clients looking for consultants to assist them on a payments by results basis. Initially developed in the 1980s for utilities TM contracts now cover a wide range of disciplines the key being our our staff who are confident enough to undertake work with all fees coming from savings achieved. 

In most cases funding packages are also available structured to ensure a positive cash flow, whilst at the same time reducing our client's carbon emissions and costs.

Contract Agreement
This is the simple, one page, framework within which the client and TM work together.

Initial Discussion/Investigation
The key to a successful partnership. TM will discuss and investigate your operation, which could include invoice analysis and/or site investigations.

Agree Projects
Following the initial investigation, worthwhile project areas will be agreed before proceeding.

Detailed Audit/Quotations
Projects will be progressed using extensive data-bases and experience. For purchasing, suppliers will be invited to tender against existing specifications. For Engineering, e.g. carbon management,  or operational changes, these  will be discussed and agreed with clients and detailed reports will be produced.

Revert to Fee
We have found over the years that in some cases clients prefer to take projects forward themselves following our detailed report. The project then reverts to an agreed fee.

Implementation
TM will assist in all areas of implementation, although the placing of orders remains under the control of the client. Where operational or engineering changes are involved, TM will work with contractors to install and commission any equipment. We also ensure that systems are in place to monitor and maintain savings achieved.

Payments to TM
Clients are invoiced, usually monthly, based on the savings actually achieved. This will be against performance parameters, taking into account process or production influences where appropriate.

Ongoing Support
To ensure that benefits are maximised and maintained, TM will visit and support clients on an "as required" basis. We also offer a bureau / outsourcing service, and in some instances can offer remote site monitoring. We also undertake client training to suit individual requirements.
