OCS, a global leader in facilities management, has secured a five-year contract to provide integrated facilities management services to the FPL’s Everton Football Club.
The club will move to its new premises ahead of the 2025-26 season. The new stadium, which is situated at Bramley Moore Dock on the banks of the River Mersey, is part of a wider regeneration of Liverpool’s North Docks, and the area around the club’s current home ground, Goodison Park, will be used for new affordable housing.
The partnership with Everton F.C. strengthens OCS’ proven track record in football stadia and events. OCS will provide a complete facilities management solution to the club’s new 52,888-capacity stadium.
The FM provider is working closely with Everton F.C to design and deliver a tailored FM solution using advanced technologies to increase safety and streamline efficiencies, including a new search and screen process. cleaning operations will also benefit from technology such as cleaning robots to maximise productivity and support the maintenance of a clean environment.
When fully operational, OCS will deploy a team of up to 200 people for match day and core operations.
“We are delighted to partner with Everton F.C.,” said Bruce McDonnell, private sector managing director at OCS. “We have seamless operations in some of the most iconic football stadiums in the UK and we have a proven track record in ensuring the safety and satisfaction of fans, players, and staff alike. We know that Everton’s new stadium won’t just be a football stadium, it will be a destination – for music, conferences and other events alike.”
“We want to embark on a transformative journey together with Everton F.C. We want to build something exceptional together, where innovation, community, and operational excellence converge. The future of Everton’s facilities services starts here, with us.”
