1.27 One of the key recommendations of the Major Review was the procurement of a radio system which could be used by all the emergency services. Airwave was procured with this requirement in mind, although at the time the contract was awarded the police were the only customer. The scope remains for other emergency services to choose Airwave as their radio system following competitive tender. Airwave has now been selected as a replacement radio system for the Ministry of Defence Police and is one of the bidders in competitive procurements by a number of fire brigades at a local or regional level.
