Systematic Reviews to inform the updated NHMRC Statement on Electronic Cigarettes

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has provided funding to NHMRC to develop an updated Statement on Electronic Cigarettes (the updated Statement) to replace the 2022 NHMRC CEO Statement on Electronic Cigarettes (the 2022 Statement). The aim of the updated NHMRC Statement is to better understand the current evidence relevant to e-cigarettes and their impacts on individual and population health.
The Electronic Cigarettes Advisory Committee (the Committee), in prioritising topic areas for review in the updated Statement, have advised that two new research questions should be answered by systematic review to inform the updated Statement. These topics are:

Health and wellbeing impacts of electronic cigarettes on young people
Motivators, barriers and enablers for vaping cessation

NHMRC is seeking a Supplier to undertake systematic reviews of the evidence on one or both of the topics to inform the updated Statement.
Potential suppliers may choose to quote to conduct one or both systematic reviews. If a supplier chooses to quote for more than one review, they should address how they intend to deliver all of the services within the required timeframe and any associated cost savings. 
Systematic Review 1: Health and wellbeing impacts of electronic cigarettes on young people
The Committee have identified impacts of electronic cigarettes on young people as a priority area for review to inform the updated Statement.
NHMRC is seeking a Supplier to conduct a systematic review assessing global evidence on the health and wellbeing impacts of young people; including the developmental, psychological, emotional and educational, impacts.
See the Statement of Requirement (Attachment C) for further information.
Systematic Review 2: Motivators, barriers and enablers for vaping cessation
The Committee have identified vaping cessation as a priority area for review to inform the updated Statement.
NHMRC is seeking a Supplier to conduct a mixed-methods systematic review assessing global evidence on the motivators, barriers and enablers for vaping cessation. This will include segregated analysis and presentation of qualitative and quantitative data/studies.
See the Statement of Requirement (Attachment C) for further information.
Deliverables for both systematic reviews
Deliverables for each systematic review are:

Deliverable 1: draft research protocol
Deliverable 2: final research protocol
Deliverable 3: preliminary results synthesis and summary of findings table for a single outcome
Deliverable 4: draft systematic review report and draft technical report
Deliverable 5: final systematic review report and final technical report.

Potential suppliers should provide enough detail to ensure NHMRC have a clear understanding of their offer and that all requirements have been addressed. Unclear or contradictory statements may impact upon the assessment of the Response.
