The contract is expected to commence on 24 December 2017 and will last for ten years, concluding on 23 December 2027. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in medical imaging, healthcare services, and associated logistical support. Companies that have expertise in providing cross-sectional imaging services, along with those capable of fulfilling the operational demands such as staffing, equipment provision, and facility management, would be well-positioned to compete.
