HM Land Registry (HMLR) has awarded a five-year contract to OCS to deliver total facilities management across its UK office estate.
Under the term of the agreement which was procured through Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework RM6232 - Facilities Management and Workplace Services, the facility services provider will self-deliver a range of cost-effective service regimes tailored to the diverse needs of each location.
Additionally, OCS will support HMLR’s new hybrid working business strategy.
All services will be delivered with an emphasis on wellbeing and social value including engaging with local suppliers to increase supply chain resilience and capacity, promoting the HMLR ‘Help to Grow: Management programme’ for supply chain partners. A Mental Health First Aider will be assigned to each location to be a point of contact for any OCS employee who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress.
The scope of the contract extends to the provision of security, cleaning, pest control, waste management, grounds maintenance and internal planting. Each location will have a dedicated full-time Facilities Assistant responsible for workplace co-ordination, supported by a senior regional team.
The five-year term of this contract reflects our confidence in OCS's ability to deliver our requirements, ensuring that our colleagues can benefit from a good working environment.
In addition, OCS shares our commitment to social value and employee wellbeing making them a strong partner for us.”
Ian Nisbet, managing director, Public Sector FM at OCS, adds: “Our on-site teams will collaborate with HMLR senior stakeholders to create an environment that fosters productivity, safety, and sustainability.
We will also support HMLR’s hybrid working approach, accommodating changes in the occupancy, use, and size of their estate. This contract reinforces our position as a trusted and innovative service provider in the public sector.”
