A US telecoms company could make “excess profits” of more than £1bn from a deal to operate the secure communications system used by the UK’s emergency services
Martin Coleman, head of the CMA inquiry, said: “It is vital that the market for critical mobile radio network services used by our emergency services works well and provides an excellent service at a fair price.
The original contract was due to end in late 2019 or early 2020 and the network was expected to be shut down and replaced by a new secure communications system using a commercial 4G mobile network, the Emergency Services Network . If the roll-out of the new ESN continues to be delayed, Motorola could make around a further £160m excess profit each year after 2026, the CMA believes.
