The statement follows a report in The National, in which the chief executive of Al Noor told the UAE paper that a third potential bidder had expressed interest in acquiring the company.
"We've received another expression of interest. I cannot identify the source of the potential bidder, nor say whether or not it will amount to a bid," chief executive Ronald Lavater told the paper.
Earlier this month, Al Noor agreed terms with South African-owned Mediclinic International, while Abu Dhabi-based and fellow London-listed NMC Health said it was still considering making a rival offer for the healthcare company.
