1.0 BACKGROUND
In furtherance of the turnaround management of all state owned enterprises under the management of Harmony Holdings, Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre (HADC) is undergoing a reform towards the enhancement of its productivity and maximization of its profitability. There is therefore a need for the upgrade of some operational equipment at the centre and the improvement of its management performance. This is desired to improve our qualitative diagnostic services delivery to meet the growing demand of residents of Ilorin and Kwara State in particular and its surrounding locations in general.
We hereby request for expression of interest from qualified and experienced Organizations with the technical and financial capacity to invest the required resources to facilitate the extensive equipment upgrade and thereafter provide management for the diagnostic facility for a pre-agreed period under a concession arrangement.
