Saudi Arabia has launched the Expression of Interest (EOI) and Request for Qualification (RFQ) phase for the Chronic Kidney Disease Care and National Dialysis Services project, led by the Saudi Ministry of Health, Ministry of Defense, and National Center for Privatization & PPP to expand private sector participation in healthcare.
The project will be delivered under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, structured as Design, Repurpose, Finance, and Maintain (DRFM), alongside a clinical services component.
The contract duration is set at six years and aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader objective of increasing private sector participation in the healthcare sector under Vision 2030.
The Ministry of Health Saudi Arabia is seeking experienced private operators to provide comprehensive renal care services to a minimum of 11,500 patients across the Kingdom.
The project is divided into four packages, each covering multiple regions to ensure wide geographic access. Detailed information on package size and regional coverage will be provided at the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage.
Under the PPP framework, selected private operators will enter into agreements with the Ministry of Health outlining the terms of engagement.
Operators will be responsible for delivering facilities, medical equipment, and IT systems, as well as staffing and managing both clinical and non-clinical services.
The clinical scope includes in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, vascular access services, and outpatient care, supported by integrated operational management.
The National Center for Privatization & PPP has invited local and international investors, financial institutions, and healthcare operators to participate in the tender process.
Interested parties can access project details and RFQ documentation through the NCP investor portal. Statements of Qualification (SOQs) must be submitted by June 15, 2026.
