The Department has issued an Expression of Interest through QBuild for a principal radio system design consultant whose tasks will include comprehensive site reviews, radio coverage mapping at individual centres and for prisoner transport vehicles, designing ICT sub-trunk infrastructure, statewide interconnection, and preparing operational procedures and technical standards. A redundant radio core is to be provided in addition to the main facility at Lockyer Valley Correctional Centre.

It is a requirement that all RF engineers are to have extensive previous experience, preferably in Queensland, working on operational correctional facility two-way radio systems and projects.
