The Housing Bureau today invited tenders for two Light Public Housing (LPH) operation and management contracts. The deadline is noon on October 10.

The two contracts, relating to the LPH project at Yan Po Road, Tuen Mun, are for the operation and management of about 2,800 units each.

The entire LPH project at Yan Po Road will provide about 5,600 units in total and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of next year.

The bureau said that taking into account that the LPH project at Yan Po Road is relatively larger in scale, it is divided into two separate contracts to encourage participation from different experienced and aspirational organisations.

The contracts cover not only occupant management, property management and daily maintenance services, but also the provision of social services as well as the management and operation of ancillary facilities.

Tenders are invited from all capable and experienced service providers, including non-government organisations and those with a valid property management company licence, or collaborations between such providers.

To ensure service quality, the bureau will carry out technical assessments based on factors including providers' management capability, relevant experience and past service performance as well as the proposed modes of operation and management, the social services to be provided, the feasibility of their exit plans and their use of innovation and information technology.

Each tender price will then be evaluated to form a consolidated assessment to decide on the most suitable organisation for the LPH contracts.

Interested organisations may download the tender documents via the relevant tender notices on the bureau's website or from the e-Tendering System. They can also contact the bureau's Dedicated Team on Light Public Housing to obtain the relevant documents.

The tender references are HB2025/OPR-LPH-YNP1 and HB2025/OPR-LPH-YNP2.

The tenders must be submitted before the deadline, either electronically via the e-Tendering System or by deposit in the Government Secretariat Tender Box situated at the entrance lobby on the Ground Floor, East Wing, Central Government Offices, 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar.
