On 20 June 2023, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) awarded the tender for the Parry Avenue site intended for a private assisted living development to Pre 20 Pte. Ltd.

Land Parcel at Parry Avenue The private assisted living development at the Parry Avenue site will help expand the range of housing-cum-care options to better cater to seniors’ diverse lifestyles, preferences and changing housing needs (see details of the site in Annex A ).

Located within Rosyth Estate and in close proximity to amenities such as Serangoon North Neighbourhood Centre and Heartland Mall, the assisted living development will also be adjacent to a new neighbourhood park (to be developed by the awarded tenderer), offering a conducive environment for seniors to live independently within a mature residential neighbourhood.

Concept and Price Revenue Tender A Concept and Price (C&P) Revenue Tender approach was adopted to ensure better alignment with the vision for the private assisted living development. Under this approach, tenderers submitted their concept proposals and tender prices separately. The concept proposals were first evaluated against a set of criteria specified in the tender, which included suitability and innovativeness of the proposed model of care, as well as quality of the proposed programmes and services. Shortlisted concept proposals then proceeded to the second stage of evaluation, which was based on price only. The site was then awarded to the tenderer with the highest bid price among the shortlisted concept proposals.

Details of the Tender & Evaluation of Concept Proposals The C&P Revenue Tender for the site at Parry Avenue was launched on 29 September 2022 and closed on 21 March 2023. A total of four Concept Proposals from three tenderers1 were received.

All tenderers presented their proposals to a Concept Evaluation Committee (CEC). The CEC concluded that all four Concept Proposals submitted by the following tenderers had satisfied the evaluation criteria specified in the tender and recommended that they progress to the second stage of tender evaluation:

a) Evia Real Estate (I) Pte Ltd, Allium Healthcare Holdings Pte Ltd, Yuan Ching Development Pte Ltd and YK Realty Pte Ltd (Tender Ref. 8)
b) Pre 20 Pte. Ltd. (Tender Ref. 33)
c) Pre 20 Pte. Ltd. (Tender Ref. 17)
d) United Medicare Development Pte Ltd (Tender Ref. 27)

Tendered Land Price The price envelopes of the four tender submissions were opened and the details of the price bids are shown in Annex B. In accordance with the C&P Revenue Tender approach, the site was awarded to Pre 20 Pte. Ltd. (Tender Ref. 33) which submitted the highest bid of $71,988,000.

Concept Proposal of Awarded Tenderer The Concept Proposal submitted by Pre 20 Pte. Ltd. demonstrates a comprehensive care model that provides residents of the proposed development with a continuum of care to enable them to age in place. The Concept Proposal includes a wide range of services/ programmes that can be tailored to the residents’ needs, interest, and preferences. These care and social services enable residents to live, socialise, and receive the support they require to continue living in the same community as they age and as their care needs change. The Concept Proposal also features an integrated health and social care hub that creates opportunities for meaningful interaction and social bonding. In addition, it offers a variety of communal areas that are well designed with green sanctuaries, sky terraces and activity-generating uses integrated with the future park to encourage social bonding and interaction amongst residents and with the wider community. Together, these features empower residents of the proposed development to live independently while staying connected with the wider community.

Overall, the Concept Proposal by Pre 20 Pte. Ltd. is comprehensive and well-conceived in terms of its care model, programmes and services, as well as design features.

Concept and Price Revenue Tender The site was launched for sale via a Concept and Price Revenue tender on 29 September 2022. As private assisted living is a new housing-cum-care model that MOH and URA are co-creating with industry players, we expect to receive a range of proposals for innovative assisted living models. This tender approach was adopted to ensure that the selected concept proposal is aligned with our vision for a private assisted living development.

Under this approach, tenderers are required to submit their concept proposals and tender prices separately. The concept proposals will first be evaluated by a Concept Evaluation Committee (CEC), chaired by MOH, based on criteria such as suitability and innovativeness of the proposed model of care, as well as quality of the proposed care programmes and services.

Only concept proposals that are shortlisted will proceed to the second stage of evaluation, which will be based only on price. The site will then be awarded to the shortlisted tenderer with the highest bid price.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has launched a site at Parry Avenue for sale by public tender for a private assisted living development. The pilot development will expand the range of housing-cum-care options to better cater to seniors’ diverse lifestyles, preferences, and housing needs.

Pilot private assisted living development The Government has introduced public assisted living developments (i.e. Community Care Apartments) to better support seniors to live independently within the community. These HDB developments integrate senior-friendly housing with care services which can be scaled according to seniors’ changing care needs. The aim is to offer seniors a living environment that enables independence and creates deliberate opportunities for social bonding. The first public assisted living flats were launched in Bukit Batok in Feb 2021.

The Government is now releasing this site at Parry Avenue for a private assisted living development. Interested tenderers are invited to submit proposals of innovative assisted living models that can provide a range of services (e.g. active ageing activities, housekeeping, regular care assessments) that support seniors’ changing needs.

Site attributes The land parcel is located within Rosyth Estate. The site offers a conducive environment for seniors to live independently within an established residential neighbourhood. The development will include a neighbourhood park and is located near dining and shopping amenities, such as Serangoon North Neighbourhood Centre and Heartland Mall.
