HB awards second operation and management contract of Light Public Housing projects
The Housing Bureau (HB) today (October 21) awarded the second operation and management contract of the Light Public Housing (LPH) projects (Contract No. LPH20240002) to Easy Living Consultant Limited and Yan Chai Hospital Joint Venture at a tender sum of about HK$168 million.
The contract includes the 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), providing about 2,290 and 148 LPH units respectively. The intake is expected in the second quarter of next year and the first quarter of 2026 respectively. Under the steer and supervision of the HB, the operating organization will need to work at full capacity to carry out the pre-management works effectively to ensure the smooth handling of LPH application and intake matters, and to provide various services and ancillary facilities for the residents and local community immediately upon intake.
In addition to providing accommodation, the LPH projects will also offer various services and facilities for the residents and local community. Therefore, the requirements for LPH's operation and management services differ from general property management contracts, which not only include occupant management, property management and daily maintenance, but also a range of social services as well as the management and operation of ancillary facilities including a minibus stand, convenience store, launderettes and study/activity rooms.
To ensure service quality, the HB has, in the assessment process, carried out a technical assessment based on a series of criteria including the management capability and relevant experience of the tenderers, as well as the proposed modes of operation and management, social services and ancillary facilities to be provided, an exit plan and the use of innovation and information technology. The tender price was then comprehensively evaluated to decide on the most suitable operating organization.
