Expression of Interest (“EOI”)
PPP for the Management of Unilag Guest Houses and Conference Centre
Background
University of Lagos Holding Company Limited (UniHOLD) is a private limited liability company incorporated by the University of Lagos (Unilag) to run its commercial activities. These commercial activities have since been incorporated as subsidiary companies under UniHOLD, one of which is the University of Lagos Guest Houses and Conference Centre Limited (Unilag Guest Houses). This facility has 77 guest rooms and several conference facilities made up of 2 large conference halls, an amphitheatre, several smaller halls and meeting rooms with an accumulated capacity of 1,540.
Objectives
Over the past years, Unilag has been internally managing the operations of the Unilag Guest Houses, but now seeks to outsource these facilities to a competent hotel management company, local or international, for an initial and renewable period of 10 years as part of a Public Private Partnership initiative.

- Professionally manage Unilag Guest Houses;
- Upgrade the Unilag Guest Houses to a minimum of 2 star hotel grading; and
- Guarantee consistent profitability of the Unilag Guest Houses to all its stakeholders throughout the duration of the engagement.
The engagement of the hotel management chain is purely a management outsourcing arrangement and interested applicants both local and international are invited to send their proposals.
