SHA says 7,244 healthcare facilities have submitted expressions of interest to provide services under the 2026–2029 contracting cycle. SHA says facilities from different levels of care have submitted their applications, with lower-level facilities accounting for the largest share. The authority has urged healthcare providers wishing to continue serving beneficiaries to complete the contracting process through the SHA e-contracting portal. SHA has clarified that submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee a contract. Only facilities that complete the contracting process will be allowed to provide services to beneficiaries.
