f6230d24-6e91-4758-abd6-c660fdd2b42e-134541**THE CLOSING DATE FOR THIS TENDER IS 25th NOVEMBER 2016, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY DIRECT TO THE BUYER** As part of Healthcare UK’s plan of activities to support the Gulf Cooperation Council countries we are looking to establish a Gulf Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (from this point on referred to as “the Observatory”). The Observatory will develop data and analysis from six Gulf states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE) to provide analysis to guide healthcare reform in the region. The Observatory will support and promote evidence-based health policy making through comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the dynamics of health care systems in the Gulf and will engage directly with policymakers. Bridging policy and academia, the Observatory will conduct monitoring, research, knowledge brokering and capacity building. By bringing multiple research strands, monitoring activities and stakeholders together within one coherent initiative, the Observatory has far greater capacity for cost effective policy impact than single issue projects. We are seeking to set up a flagship partnership between Gulf governments, HMG and academia to support and inform healthcare policy making and provision in the region. We will propose an equal partnership between all parties to avoid it being perceived as a vehicle for one particular government and to ensure that it has the intellectual credibility to inform policy. There are several other “observatories” providing monitoring and analysis functions, but this project is seeking to go beyond simply monitoring and analysis to offer a platform for data sharing, policy discussion and capacity building. This requirement is based on the European Observatory model that has equal partnerships and a depth of engagement between government and academic stakeholders. This request is specifically for the scoping phase of establishing a Gulf Observatory on Health Systems and Policies as the significant projected scale will require work in several phases.
