Physical security for London boroughs, NHS trusts, civic buildings and public spaces. Specialist in Martyn's Law Enhanced Tier, UK GDPR and public sector procurement frameworks.
London's 33 borough councils, NHS trusts, Transport for London estate and the GLA's managed public spaces together hold a large share of the premises likely to be in Martyn's Law scope. Larger town halls, civic centres and leisure centres may reach the 800-person Enhanced Tier threshold, with its more demanding requirements; many smaller buildings will sit in the Standard Tier or out of scope. Each building needs assessing on its own capacity.
London's public sector procurement landscape is complex. TfL, NHS London trusts, borough councils and GLA bodies all operate under different procurement frameworks with different pre-qualification requirements. We are familiar with the frameworks most relevant to physical security procurement in London and can help facilities and estates teams identify the right route to contract.
Outdoor public spaces in London, such as managed squares, civic parks and pedestrianised high streets, are not premises in scope on their own. Events held there become qualifying events only where they are open to the public, have entry controls such as tickets or paid entry, and expect 800 or more people. A ticketed outdoor film screening or fenced festival can qualify; a free-entry Christmas market or Remembrance service usually will not. Our Martyn's Law guide walks through the official events flowchart.
