Riyadh, Saudi Arabia —  Lana Company has secured two new medical waste projects from the Saudi Ministry of Health, worth a combined SAR 57.17 million.

 These awards mark a strategic expansion of Lana’s role in healthcare environmental services across the Kingdom.

Lana Expands Healthcare Waste Projects in Northern Regions

According to a statement on Tadawul, the larger contract—valued at SAR 53.54 million—covers the collection and storage of hazardous medical waste from hospitals, health centers, and specialty facilities in Al-Jouf and Al-Qurayyat. The combined duration of both projects is 60 months. Work will begin after the Ministry of Finance approves and hands over the project sites.

These contracts support Lana’s commitment to improving medical waste handling, which is in line with Vision 2030’s sustainability targets.

New NUPCO Framework Deal Enhances National Reach

Lana signed a SAR 10 million agreement with the National Unified Procurement Company (NUPCO) on July 16, 2025. The two-year, renewable deal focuses on managing medical waste across public healthcare facilities nationwide.

This contract will boost Lana’s revenues and strengthen its role within Saudi Arabia’s centralized procurement system. The financial impact of both projects will appear starting in Q4 2025.

Supporting Vision 2030 Through Environmental Services

Lana stated that these wins reflect the company’s plan to grow in environmental services, especially in healthcare. The projects align with Vision 2030 goals, including better waste control, pollution reduction, and safer infrastructure.

As demand for safe, regulated waste solutions increases, these awards highlight the government’s growing trust in private-sector providers for vital services.

 

 

THE SAUDI STANDARD’S VIEW: Lana’s Waste Contracts Align Health and Sustainability Goals

Lana’s SAR 57.17 million wins with the Ministry of Health—and the SAR 10 million NUPCO agreement—show how healthcare and environmental protection are becoming increasingly integrated under Vision 2030.

  • Boosting environmental safeguards in healthcare: These contracts reinforce Saudi Arabia’s efforts to improve medical waste disposal, especially in underserved regions. They support national sustainability targets while meeting global health and safety standards.
  • Expanding private-sector roles in infrastructure: Lana’s selection reflects confidence in its capacity to deliver over long timeframes and across vast areas. It also shows how private companies are becoming essential partners in public health infrastructure.
  • Improving procurement efficiency through NUPCO: The framework deal with NUPCO highlights the growing role of centralized procurement. It improves accountability, reduces costs, and ensures consistent service across the Kingdom.
  • Treating health and environment as one system: These projects show that waste management is no longer a secondary issue—it is essential to maintaining safe, modern healthcare systems.

Saudi Arabia’s commitment to health and environmental resilience is clear. Through partnerships like these, the Kingdom is building a more sustainable, integrated public service model in which private-sector expertise strengthens national outcomes.
