About

Homes England (the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency) awarded a contract to OCS Group UK Limited for security services at Northstowe, a large and dynamic operating environment with multiple locations and varying security requirements.

The site has a medium-risk profile and requires a combination of physical security measures, visible deterrence, proactive monitoring, and effective incident response capabilities.

Risk levels evolve as construction progresses, land use changes, and new areas are developed.

Homes England aims to adopt a risk-led approach to security management, with risks identified, evaluated, and reviewed regularly, and service delivery adjusted accordingly via one supplier.

The contract value is AUD 290,186, procured via Direct Award under the GCA Facilities and Workplace Management Framework under PCR 2015.
