UK-based OCS Group kicked off operations in the UAE in 2013, starting out with a small team and the support of OCS’ global brand, and a joint venture with UAE’s oil and gas conglomerate United Technical Services. OCS Emirates’ workforce has now passed the 1,000 employee mark in a relatively short span of time.
In January this year OCS Emirates managed to nab a major healthcare FM deal when it was awarded a five-an-a-half year contract by Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC). The contract, which is worth more than $100m, includes managing MEP and HVAC services, medical gas pipeline system (MGPS), building fabrics, fire and life safety systems, building management system (BMS) and bio-medical engineering (BME).
