OCS extends Eurotunnel contract

Facilities services and management company OCS has secured a contract extension with Eurotunnel.

The partnership has been extended for a further five years, with the option to raise this to seven, and was secured following a bid process involving eight competitors.

Giles Davies, operations manager – catering, OCS UK and Ireland, said: “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Eurotunnel, delivering innovative catering and vending solutions that meet the evolving needs of their workforce. Our focus on sustainability, operational efficiency, and quality ensures that we provide exceptional value while supporting the local community.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
