In preparation for the launch of the new support service scheme for building maintenance works, the Government has announced that consultants and contractors interested in participating in the service can apply for inclusion in the “pre-qualified lists.” The Government's goal is to have the vetted "pre-qualified lists" progressively available by the end of 2026 and to begin tendering projects for property owners in the first quarter of 2027. In future, only consultants and contractors on the "pre-qualified lists" will be eligible to tender for projects under the new support service.
For enquiries regarding the "pre-qualified lists”, please call the "pre-qualified lists” hotline at 2588 2929 during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm) or email pqenquiry@ura.org.hk for further information or assistance.
Please be informed that, in view of the new arrangements, the lists of consultants and contractors on the e-tendering platform of the Building Rehabilitation Platform and the third round of Operation Building Bright 2.0 originally posted on the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) website are no longer applicable and have been removed. The Development Bureau (DEVB) has announced that three pre-qualified lists will be established, namely:
1. Inspection Consultants;
2. Supervision Consultants, who will draft tender documents and supervise building maintenance works; and
3. Building Works Contractors, who will be responsible for construction.
