The tender process is expected to attract interest from local and potentially international service providers.

Interested bidders are required to submit their proposals by a specified deadline, as indicated in the tender documents available on the hospital's website or through official procurement channels. The evaluation of bids will be based on criteria such as experience in providing restaurant services, quality of service proposals, and pricing competitiveness.
