Thank you for sharing this information!
I had a look through the document and as well onto their website.
GNU Health is already live in teaching hospitals around the world, and most of 
their services should be covered by existing functionality

My impression from the tender document was, that they have some quite high 
entry barrier (see a-f in the document), which could potentially only be 
fulfilled by a local company. Their focus is clearly not a free software 
solution, which they could implement by themself, with some support from 
external and the target of buildig up local knowledge. Probably they are not 
aware of ths option and how free software works.

Registration fee of around 20€=10.000 Naira is more a symbolic price.
