The Probation Board for Northern Ireland (PBNI) is a non-departmental public body established by the Probation Board (Northern Ireland) Order 1982. The core business of PBNI is: 1.

The supervision of offenders on a range of court orders and licenses. PBNI require a Supplier to provide a substance testing programme, including the collection, screening and analysis of samples. There are two elements of this contract: PBNI require a regional service across Northern Ireland to provide a range of tests (breathalyser, urine, blood testing and hair follicle testing) to test individuals subject to orders/licences for a range of drugs/alcohol. The testing will take place in PBNI offices throughout Northern Ireland. PBNI manages the Substance Misuse Court and requires individuals engaging in the process to be regularly and randomly drug and alcohol tested. Testing is required on a weekly basis and will take place in PBNI’s office at Laganside Court. Please refer to Schedule 2 (Specification) for full detail of requirements.
