Housing Bureau opens two tenders for light public housing

The deadline for submissions is 13 June at noon.

The Housing Bureau (HB) has invited tenders for two light public housing (LPH) operation and management contracts, with submissions due on 13 June at noon.

The first contract pertains to the operation and management of four school conversion projects.

These are at the Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad No. 2 Primary School on Shun On Road in Shun On Estate, Kwun Tong; the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Ma Kam Chan Memorial Primary School (Choi Yuen Annex) on Choi Yuen Road in Choi Yuen Estate, Sheung Shui; the Carmel Leung Sing Tak School on Shun Lee Tsuen Road in Shun On Estate, Kwun Tong; and the Baptist Rainbow Primary School on Chuk Yuen Road in Chuk Yuen South Estate, Wong Tai Sin.

The conversion works will be completed in two phases. The first covers the two projects on Shun On Road and Choi Yuen Road, which will provide about 130 and 110 units, respectively. These are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

The second phase covers the two projects on Shun Lee Tsuen Road and Chuk Yuen Road, which will provide about 110 and 105 units, respectively. These are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

The second contract covers the project at Sheung On Street, Chai Wan, which will provide about 1,720 units and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.

The bureau said the four school conversion projects have been packaged into one single contract in light of their relatively smaller scale. By engaging a single operator for the contract’s overall operation and management, resources can be shared amongst the projects to enhance cost-effectiveness, it explained.

The contracts include not only occupancy management, property management, and daily maintenance services but also the provision of social services and the management and operation of ancillary facilities.

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