The Housing Bureau today invited tenders for the operation and management contract of Light Public Housing (LPH) at Hang Kwong Street, Ma On Shan. The deadline is noon on April 17.

The LPH project will provide about 855 units, with intake tentatively scheduled in the fourth quarter of this year.

Same as the previous contracts of other LPH projects, the operation and management services mainly cover occupant management, property management and daily maintenance as well as the provision of social services, and management and operation of ancillary facilities.

To encourage participation of different stakeholders in the community, the bureau welcomes tenders from all capable and experienced service providers, including non-government organisations and those with a valid property management company licence, or a collaboration between them.

It has awarded eight LPH operation and management contracts so far and is now evaluating the tenders for the ninth and 10th operation and management contracts, which cover the LPH project at Yan Po Road, Tuen Mun. Meanwhile, the tender for the operation and management contract of the LPH project at Tsing Fat Street, Tuen Mun, is also in progress.

The bureau added that the Hang Kwong Street project is the 12th and last LPH operation and management contract.
