REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL [RFP] AS A CONSULTANT FOR THE CONCESSIONING OF MATERNAL AND CHILD CENTRES AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A MEDICAL PARK IN LAGOS, NIGERIA
1.0 BACKGROUND
Lagos, with a population of over 21.2 million people and
projected to be the 3rd largest megacity in the world within the
next decade hitting the 25 million mark, is Nigeria’s economic
and commercial nerve-centre.
The Lagos State Ministry of Health (LSMH) in 2002 embarked on
a comprehensive Health Sector Reform Programme (HSRP). A
key initiative under the reform is to increase the overall capacity
of the healthcare system in Lagos State. Also, LSMH using the
Integrated Maternal, Newborn and Child Health [IMNCH]
approach seeks to improve its maternal and infant/child health
indices via enhanced geographical access to integrated maternal
and paediatric services.
In this regard LSMH desires to concession the Operation and
Management of four (4) of its 110-bed Maternal and Child
Centres (MCCs) across the State which will serve as one of the
secondary care level interventions as well as create a state of
the art Medical Park (“the Park”), which would provide a full
spectrum of healthcare at a single location along the Eti-Osa
Lekki axis on about 13,000 m2 land.
The MCCs will serve as one of the secondary care level
interventions while it is expected that the Park will cater for a mix
of primary and specialists health care to meet the different needs
of residents within the State.
