Best Practices to Deliver Secure, Resilient and Agile Defence Facilities

In defence environments where security, resilience and reliability are critical, facilities must run seamlessly to support mission success. OCS provides integrated FM solutions for high-security sites, combining technical expertise with full compliance to defence standards. Using data-led insights and AI, we predict maintenance needs, optimise performance and strengthen decision-making across complex operations.

Our services protect people, assets and information, including:

High-voltage power networks, mechanical and electrical (MEP) systems and advanced building management systems (BMS)
Catering, cleaning and sustainability programmes designed for secure environments
Secure communications and infrastructure projects across defence estates

Services Calibrated for Defence Environments

Our role is to make people and places the best they can be by delivering defence FM solutions that strengthen capability, resilience and compliance in secure environments.

  • Maintenance and upgrades to critical defence infrastructure, from mechanical and electrical systems to complex high-voltage power networks, are central to OCS’s approach. Our engineering expertise supports resilience, compliance, and dependable performance across secure environments. Where deployed, intelligent monitoring and data-driven tools help strengthen these capabilities, supporting proactive maintenance, operational continuity, and long-term asset performance.

  • OCS supports defence organisations in meeting net zero commitments with practical, measurable solutions in energy efficiency, renewable technology integration, and waste reduction. AI-enabled energy management tools help optimise resource use and drive continual improvement in sustainability performance, building resilience while reducing environmental impact.

  • Our technical teams deliver complex infrastructure programmes, from secure communications systems on naval vessels to high-voltage upgrades at air bases. We bring agility and precision to projects in environments where continuous service is critical, combining specialist expertise with strict compliance to defence standards.

  • Protecting people, assets, and sensitive information is paramount in defence environments. We provide highly trained security professionals supported by advanced surveillance, access control, and threat-detection technologies. AI-enhanced systems add a layer of protection, identifying patterns and anomalies in real time to help prevent and respond to threats.

  • Reliable, compliant soft services, including catering, cleaning, and logistics, are designed to support operational readiness, well-being, and continuity across defence facilities. These services are delivered with the same emphasis on quality, resilience, and compliance as our technical solutions, providing a consistent standard across every aspect of defence facilities management.
