Tender for second operation and management contract of Light Public Housing
***************************************************************************
The contract includes operation and management of two LPH projects at Choi Hing Road and Choi Shek Lane, Ngau Tau Kok (i.e. the former St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese School), respectively providing about 2 290 and 148 units with intake tentatively scheduled in the second quarter of next year and the first quarter of 2026.
Same as the first contract, the scope of operation and management services mainly covers occupant management, property management, daily maintenance, as well as the provision of social services, and the management and operation of ancillary facilities, etc. To encourage participation of different stakeholders in the community, the HB 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.
To ensure service quality, the HB will carry out a technical assessment based on a series of factors, including the management capability, relevant experience and past service performance of the organisations, as well as the proposed modes of operation and management, social service support to be provided, feasibility of an exit plan and use of innovation and information technology as stated in their proposals, etc such that the facilities and services of LPH can meet the needs of the residents and the local community. The tender price will then be evaluated to form a consolidated assessment to decide on the most suitable organisation for operating LPH.
A spokesman for the HB said, "LPH could fill the short-term gap of the public housing supply, and improve the living conditions and quality of life of people living in inadequate housing as soon as practicable. Construction of a number of projects has already commenced. Under this contract, the operation and management of two LPH projects in proximity will be taken up by one organisation. We anticipate that this arrangement could create synergy, not only for enhancing the flexibility in operation and utilisation of resources, but also for increasing the efficiency and expanding the scope of service, to create a small community of LPH."
