About

Home Office awarded a contract to EE Ltd and British Telecommunications Plc for the provision of mobile services network and related services to support the development and implementation of the new Emergency Services Network (ESN), replacing the Airwave system.

The Mobile Services Agreement (MSA) was awarded jointly to EE Ltd and BT Plc as a tripartite agreement, following a Voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice published on 31 July 2024.

The contract term is 7.25 years plus one extension year and a termination assistance period, with a maximum value of £1.85bn (approximately £1,289,231,819).

The services include mobile network coverage for emergency services mission critical communications, subsuming and replacing the previous contract with EE.

The award was made under regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to absence of competition for technical reasons.
