Radio Frequency Detection

The Ministry of Justice (HMPPS) wishes to engage with the market, as part of an early market engagement exercise. The MOJ wish to explore current and future opportunities around passive radio frequency signal detection equipment, to help develop our next generation capabilities. Passive Radio Frequency (RF) signal detection equipment is used by prisons to identify internal illicit communications signals to aid the recovery of communication devices entering prisons and being used illegally by prisoners As part of our proposed equipment strategy, we have two approaches to RF detection. • The first approach is to identify signals / services in use through logging device / service activity over a period of time. • The second part of the approach is to follow up and locate those devices to aid device recovery. HMPPS is particularly interested in understanding future opportunities in relation to software defined radio.
An early engagement day will be held on Thursday 6th April 2023 between 9:00 – 16:00 GMT in Leeds (UK) to assist the MOJ in understanding what the market can provide.
