    Brief

    This opportunity seeks projects to examine how government and related organisations are currently using innovative tools, technologies and approaches—including Artificial Intelligence (AI), horizon-scanning tools, data integration platforms, analytical workflows and collaboration technologies—to enhance biosurveillance activities. The primary focus is on generating actionable insight and intelligence from surveillance data to support food safety, while also considering human health, animal health, plant health and environmental surveillance through a One Health perspective. Successful projects will identify best practice implementations, document common challenges and barriers, and uncover opportunities for cross-government collaboration. The work will establish a cross-government working group to facilitate knowledge exchange and community building. Deliverables will provide an evidence base to inform future investment decisions, eliminate duplication of effort, strengthen inter-agency networks and help maximise the value of current and future biosurveillance investments. Suppliers should have expertise in biosurveillance systems, data analytics, digital health technologies, AI applications, or cross-organisational collaboration frameworks.
