This procurement relates to, and is dependent on, the passing of the Drug and Alcohol Testing of Community-based Offenders, Bailees, and Other Persons Legislation Bill. The Department of Corrections (the Department) intends on conducting a trial of sample collection and testing for alcohol and other drugs (including psychoactive substances) beginning early 2017 (subject to the passing of the bill). The trial will occur in the Department’s Northern Region, which is situated in the upper North Island of New Zealand (trial area) over 24 months (trial period). The purpose of this trial is to determine whether this testing regime will act as a deterrent to drug and alcohol use for offenders and bailees subject to abstinence conditions.

Proposals should detail a solution that meets the Department’s requirements, including provision of a flexible system to accept referrals, conduct sample collection in the community (either at a provider’s location or through a mobile testing unit), and conduct laboratory testing for a range of substances. Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT) of the offender/bailee is also required to occur during the sample collection appointment.
