Public sector security in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire County Council and its ten district councils manage a substantial public sector estate immediately north of London. The county's towns — Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage — each have significant civic infrastructure including town centre management areas, civic halls and libraries that carry Martyn's Law obligations.

Hertfordshire's proximity to London gives its public sector organisations access to the capital's procurement frameworks alongside Hertfordshire County Council's own routes to market. The county has been an early mover in reviewing Martyn's Law compliance, partly driven by its experience managing large civic events in town centres and the county's significant conference and exhibition venue sector.

Hertfordshire's NHS estate — including West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals and East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust — represents one of the largest healthcare building portfolios in the South East. Healthcare settings have specific security requirements around lone worker protection, patient movement management and controlled drug security that go beyond standard commercial specifications.

Local Knowledge

Hertfordshire — what we know about your area

Several Hertfordshire town centres — particularly Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage — have managed public spaces that host regular civic events, markets and gatherings. These spaces sit in Martyn's Law scope for qualifying events where 800 or more people may be present, creating ongoing compliance obligations for the councils and BIDs that manage them. Understanding how to operationalise Martyn's Law for recurring outdoor events is an area where we provide specific guidance.

Whatever the specific challenges of your estate and area, the starting point is the same: a free survey, a written assessment, and an honest conversation about what your buildings need and what it will cost.
