Invitation for Expression of Interest (EOI) to Finance, Renovate, Operate & Transfer
Secondary Health Care Facilities in Bekwarra, Boki and Obudu under a Public Private
Partnership (PPP) Arrangement
1.0 Project Background
The Cross River State Government (CRSG) through its Ministry of Health has adopted a PPP
approach in its drive for efficient & sustainable healthcare delivery in the State. The over-riding
objective of the PPP initiative is to utilize the technical, financial and managerial resources
available in the private sector to strengthen the quality of clinical and non-clinical health care
services across publicly owned General Hospitals in the State. In this regard the State
Government has set-up three new General Hospitals in each of Bekwarra, Boki and Obudu
Local Government Areas. The facilities are geographically located in the northern (Bekwarra &
Obudu) and central (Boki) zones of the State with potential for addressing neighbouring markets
both within and outside the State.
1.2 Objectives
The following are the objectives of the project:
• Provision of sustainable, efficient and affordable health care services; • Deployment of well trained and motivated manpower to the hospital facilities; • Enabling innovation, cutting edge technology and best practice in the concessioned hospital
facilities; • Deployment of private finance to support facility improvements, equipment injection and
operating capital.
Submissions must demonstrate competence as may relate to technical (qualified manpowers
value for money considerations), facility management and knowledge of the local operating
environment.
A key aspect of the concession program is the capacity of the private party to effectively adopt
local operating & statutory standards such as in compliance with the Essential Drug Programme
(EDP) Law, the Free Health Care Programme of CRSG, observance of the SERVICOM
Minimum Charter & related professional ethics/standards (details to be provided on request
to [email protected]).
2.0 Scope of Work and Services
The hospitals are complete green field facilities and would require private investments by way of
equipment & working capital finance, and in some respect, renovation works to support the
operational aspirations of the concessionaire. CRSG intends to partner with credible private
interests in implementing the project for a period to be determined based on the extent of
private sector investment. CRSG now invites interested entities or consortium to express
interest for each or a combination of the hospitals.
The project scope of work and services includes:
1. Clinical and Allied Services: internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, anaesthesia, antenatal & neonatal care, obstetrics and gynaecology, dental and eye care services where applicable
