Description: The Programme aims to replace the mobile communications service used by the 3 Emergency Services and other public safety users. This will be done with a new service called the 'Emergency Services Network' (ESN) which will operate over a 4G LTE commercial mobile network enhanced to meet the public safety requirements for coverage, functionality, availability and security
DCA (RAG) Amber/Red

To proceed with the accepted phased delivery approach for ESN it has been necessary to update commercial arrangements with suppliers.
