All radio equipment being provided will have to comply with as a minimum condition, the meeting of requirements of latest European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Specifications (the latest version being ETSI EN 301 489-5 v2.2.1 as of 31 July 2019). They will also be obligated to legitimately function on licenced frequencies as a mandated legislative requirement.

The Service is to offer a range of PMR equipment including replacements to Defence Users within CRTC, with benefits of price standardisation, equipment consistency, management centralism, and scrutinised contractual backing. A key aspect of this Service is the requirement for a technology neutral PMR supplier. This is to ensure all options are unbiased, well-thought-out and a variety of solutions offered for customer selection to suit local needs. In addition, there is to be technical and commercial approvals on all newly proposed items for inclusion in the electronic catalogue (Government eMarketplace - GeM) before insertion, iaw the CCS Framework Processes
