OCS has been awarded a major UK-wide contract to deliver security services<\/a> for Morrisons<\/a>, supporting one of the country\u2019s most recognised retailers across its stores, logistics, and manufacturing operations.<\/p>\n

The new agreement strengthens a relationship that spans more than a decade and will see OCS take responsibility for a fully integrated security service covering all Morrisons sites nationwide. As part of the transition, more than 1,000 colleagues will join OCS, building a single, national security workforce supported by over 200 additional roles created through the contract.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

Driving a Unified, Intelligence Led Security Model<\/h3>\n

OCS will introduce a centrally coordinated, intelligence-led approach that combines live data, analytics, and local knowledge to enhance decision-making across the estate. This national hub will provide clearer visibility of risk, support faster responses, and help both organisations address emerging industry challenges proactively.<\/p>\n

Over the next three years, OCS and Morrisons will also work together to develop a future-focused security model, including the phased introduction of AI-enabled analytics, body-worn systems, and enhanced digital reporting tools designed to improve safety, service consistency, and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

Supporting Communities Through Learning, Development, and Social Value<\/h3>\n

The contract also reflects a shared commitment to social value<\/a>. Through OCS\u2019s People into Work<\/a> programme and colleague development pathways, individuals facing barriers to employment will be supported into long-term security careers<\/a>. New and transferring colleagues will receive focused training, access to professional accreditation, and well-being support to build rewarding careers across the retail<\/a> sector.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Their commitment to improvement and understanding of our business made them the right partner for this next chapter.” <\/p>\n
