Durham County Council awarded a contract to Airwaves Solutions Limited for the purchase of bandwidth and network usage on the Airwaves radio system, enabling the Council's CCTV service to communicate with emergency services.

Airwaves is the only supplier legally permitted to provide access to the Airwave network, making the maintenance of this communication licence critical.

The contract extension runs for 30 months until the National Shutdown Date (NSD), currently set for 31 December 2022, following the Home Office's award of a nationwide contract to EE for future provision of this service.

The contract value is £80,000.
