SMEH wins SAR 127.66 million catering contract for Western Region armed forces hospitals

Scientific & Medical Equipment House Co. has secured a three-year catering services contract valued at SAR 127.66 million from the General Administration of Medical Services of the Armed Forces to service healthcare facilities across Saudi Arabia's Western Region.

Scientific & Medical Equipment House Co. has received an official notification awarding it a major catering services project valued at SAR 127.66 million from the General Administration of Medical Services of the Armed Forces, an entity affiliated with the General Directorate of Health Services at the Ministry of Defense in Saudi Arabia. Under the terms of the three-year agreement, the company will deliver comprehensive catering services to prominent military healthcare facilities in the Western Region, including Prince Sultan Armed Forces Hospital in Madinah, King Salman Hospital in Tabuk, and King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah.

Founded as a premier provider of healthcare support services in Saudi Arabia, Scientific & Medical Equipment House Co. specializes in facility management, medical maintenance, non-medical operations, and institutional catering across public and private sectors. The awarding authority, the General Administration of Medical Services of the Armed Forces, oversees administrative, medical, and operational services for military hospital networks and healthcare infrastructure throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The securing of this substantial contract reinforces the company’s strong standing within the Kingdom's institutional food services and healthcare support sector. By locking in a multi-year operational framework across key defense medical centers, the agreement guarantees stable operational volume while supporting the Ministry of Defense's rigorous healthcare support standards.

From a broader industry perspective, the procurement reflects ongoing government investment in upgrading essential services across military and public health institutions. Public sector outsourcing of institutional catering and facility services continues to drive market growth, offering long-term stability for specialized defense and healthcare vendors operating within the region.

For investors and business stakeholders, the contract strengthens Scientific & Medical Equipment House Co.’s revenue visibility over its three-year duration. Management expects the financial results stemming from this contract award to begin reflecting positively in the company's financial statements starting from the second quarter of 2027.
