The selected vendor will be responsible for developing a national strategy for implementing the Generic Version 3 Message Mapping Guide (Gen V3 MMG), which is a vital component of the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS). This includes crafting clear implementation guidance and providing recommendations to transition away from legacy data pipelines used for case notifications.

Key project tasks will involve proposing streamlined onboarding strategies for new users, outlining the benefits and key considerations for promoting the case notification standard through the HL7 balloting process, and organizing meetings with set agendas and discussion topics. The vendor will also be expected to lead the production of an outline, a draft, and a final report, integrating feedback and making final recommendations by July 2026.

Deliverables include recommendations for resource-efficient onboarding processes, covering supportive tools, technical assistance models, and capacity-building methods. The vendor should conduct an assessment of jurisdictional resource requirements, propose funding and support mechanisms, and analyze the benefits, risks, and implementation implications associated with moving the case notification standard forward through HL7 balloting.
