Modified Concept and Price Revenue Tender System For Tengah Plantation Close EC

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) in Singapore has announced that it will pilot a modified concept and pricing system for the Executive Condominium (EC) site at Plantation Close. The aim of this pilot is to encourage the use of innovative construction technologies and productive construction methods, according to HDB. Under this pilot program, developers will be required to submit an additional bid on top of a base Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) bid. This alternative bid may involve the use of a non-PPVC technology or a combination of technologies that results in improved productivity. HDB has stated that no detailed concept design proposal will be required at the time of tender submission for this project. A committee led by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) will assess the alternative bid to determine whether it can reasonably meet the productivity improvement requirements and offer advantages comparable to those of PPVC technology. The tender for both Government Land Sales (GLS) plots will close on June 27, 2023, and will be batch-tendered with the recently launched mixed-use site at Marina Gardens Lane, which was released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on December 5.
