Public sector security in Kent

Kent County Council, the twelve borough and district councils, and the Kent and Medway NHS trust estate together represent one of the largest concentrations of public sector buildings in the South East. Any of those buildings where 200 or more people may reasonably be expected at the same time will carry Martyn's Law obligations when the Act's requirements commence, expected from 2027, and many are already overdue a security review.

Fyrfly Systems is based in Whitstable, Kent, which gives us fast access across the whole county. We understand the procurement frameworks that apply to Kent's public sector organisations — from Kent County Council's procurement routes through to the NHS South East regional frameworks — and can help facilities managers navigate the right route to market for their project.

Medway Council and the Kent district councils manage a significant portfolio of public-facing buildings. Town halls and customer service centres where 200 or more people may reasonably be expected sit in Martyn's Law scope. Civic squares and town centre spaces are not premises in their own right; the event rules matter to councils running ticketed or fenced events of 800 or more people. Open, free-entry gatherings such as most Christmas markets usually will not be qualifying events.

Local Knowledge

Kent — what we know about your area

Kent's coastal towns present specific challenges for public sector security: high seasonal visitor footfall, heritage buildings with restricted cabling options, and a higher-than-average proportion of listed civic buildings. Our wireless-first approach means we can deliver comprehensive CCTV and access control coverage in Canterbury's historic civic buildings and Thanet's Victorian seafront infrastructure with far fewer of the structural interventions that traditional cabling would require. Listed building consent can still apply to external fixings, and we check that early.

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.
