Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to complete the procurement of a new supplier for mobile radio and data services for the emergency services; and when they estimate it will be possible to shut down the Airwave service.

Any relevant information concerning this procurement process will be met in due course via the government commercial disclosure portal Contracts Finder and in the Accounting Officer Assessments published routinely on the Home Office website.

With respect to the estimated shutdown date of Airwave, the current National Shutdown Target Date is 31 December 2029.
