OCS Healthcare & Education have been awarded a three-year contract to continue providing Manned Security and Car Parking Services for York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
With over 1,000 beds across eight hospital sites, the Trust provides a comprehensive range of acute and specialist healthcare services for approximately 800,000 people living in and around York, North Yorkshire, North East Yorkshire and Ryedale.
OCS will continue to build and develop its partnership with the Trust, which began over 10 years ago, delivering services that utilise the latest technologies to display real time security guard activity, increasing security guard protection and operational efficiency.
Through the provision of award-winning training, OCS colleagues are encouraged to complete further studies to support them throughout their entire career with modules including mental health awareness, conflict resolution, suicide prevention and SIA training.
This approach enables a multi-skilled and patient focussed team that demonstrates behaviours and values aligned to both organisations.
Penny Gilyard MIHEEM, FCIPD Director of Resources of YTHFM, said: “We’re delighted to confirm OCS have retained the contract for car park and security services for another three years after a robust tender process. This will allow both organisations to build upon the existing relationship and continue to deliver the best patient experience based on kindness, openness and excellence in patient care.”
