Queensland Critical Communications Network Future Tender Released.

Queensland Critical Communications Network – Queensland Government has pre-released a future tender for an upgraded Queensland Critical Communications Network.

This is a massive comms upgrade project. The existing Government Wireless Network (GWN) provides whole of government radio communications services and equipment to the Queensland Police Service, Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, and Queensland Ambulance Service and other agencies in South-East Queensland.

In the Greater Queensland region outside of the GWN Service Area, the Public Safety Agencies and other agencies operate analogue networks that do not provide the standard GWN features of encryption, emergency duress and location services (GPS). Of note, the current GWN contract expires in 2028 and is complemented by other relevant contracts with varying expiration timeframes.

Queensland Critical Communications Development Group has been nominated on behalf of the Queensland Government to investigate, develop and deliver the upgraded critical communications network for South-East Queensland and Greater Queensland.

The QCCM Project will ensure that Queensland has an interoperable public safety communications network that is seamless, secure, reliable, resilient and scalable – with the capabilities that are required to underpin the modern public safety operations, disaster response and disaster recovery capabilities across Queensland, including provision for the 2032 Olympic Games.

QGCDG is currently preparing a business case to consider the appropriate strategic investment in a state-wide critical communications network upgrade. The business case will explore Queensland Government’s options for new modern arrangements for both GWN services in South East Queensland and new services to replace existing systems across Greater Queensland through a whole of government, whole of state arrangement.

Subject to the development of a business case and satisfactory government approvals and funding, it’s envisaged that the QCCM Project would formally commence procurement during FY 2025-26, followed by implementation activities in FY 2027-28 (in advance of the GWN contract expiry in 2028).

This is a long-range tender – it’s slated for release June 30, 2025. There’s more information on this Queensland Critical Communications Network tender here, or you can read more SEN news here.
