OCS will deliver a new facilities management contract across the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust estate, set to go live on 1 December 2025.
The team will provide catering, cleaning, laundry and linen, waste management and pest control services at hospitals including Bethlem Royal Hospital, Lewisham Hospital and Lambeth Hospital.
Employees currently delivering FM services with the incumbent provider ISS will be able to transfer to OCS under TUPE.
OCS plans to introduce modernised on-site restaurants at Bethlem Royal Hospital and Maudsley Hospital, as well as 24/7 hot and cold vending options.
Bob Taylor, Managing Director – Public Sector FM at OCS UK said: “We’re proud and excited to begin this new partnership with the Trust, delivering essential services that support patient care, colleague wellbeing and help create welcoming environments. This contract reflects a shared commitment to quality, inclusion and positive outcomes. We are looking to make new investment in facilities and improved catering with greater choice and quality. We are also looking at opportunities that aid recovery and personal development for those served by the Trust, while upholding high standards across every service we provide”
Ade Odunlade, Chief Operating Officer at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust added: “Providing these opportunities to our service users is a valuable enhancement to the support we offer at the Trust. It represents an important step in their recovery journey, enabling them to build confidence and independence in a real-world setting while remaining within a safe and supportive environment. We warmly welcome OCS Group UK Ltd as our new service provider and look forward to working together to continue delivering high-quality services.”
