Oral Fluid Testing Equipment

The Land Transport (Drug Driving) Amendment Bill will enable the rollout of roadside drug screening regime that will allow New Zealand Police to screen drivers for the presence of specific drugs using an Oral Fluid Screening Device (OFSD). The purpose of this RFP is so the New Zealand Police can deliver and implement the new capability by procuring suitable Oral Fluid Testing Equipment (OFTE). New Zealand Police has no preference as to whether the OFSD it procures is an analogue or a digital device and therefore welcomes proposals from Respondents that offer either or both type of OFSDs.
