This legislation will require qualifying venues and public spaces to implement proportionate security measures, conduct risk assessments, and ensure staff are trained to respond effectively to potential threats. To support this, we are seeking a digital solution that can offer real-time communication and alerting capabilities. This pre-market engagement exercise aligns with our Progress with Unity strategy, a borough-wide movement to: - Create fair opportunities for all residents and businesses - Help towns and neighbourhoods flourish through safety, inclusion, and resilience We invite providers of innovative, user-friendly, and scalable digital platforms to express interest in helping us meet the requirements of Martyn's Law while advancing our mission to build a safer, more connected Wigan. Organisations expressing an interest will be required to satisfy a basic key requirement prior to being invited to present their proposals. This engagement is part of Wigan Council's market testing activity and will inform the development of future procurement requirements. The revised date scheduled for the demonstration will be held on Friday 5th September 2025.
