Gov't launches program weighing rent and service quality for GP clinic rentals

The new testing starts at a GP site located at Bartley Beacon.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) and Housing & Development Board (HDB) will jointly pilot a new Price-Quality Method (PQM) tender approach that factors in both price and quality standards when leasing HDB shops to General Practitioner (GP) clinics, starting with a site at Bartley Beacon.

Under the pilot, the quality of the tender proposal will account for 70% of the scoring criteria, and the tender price will account for the remaining 30%.

The pilot aims to bring better healthcare services closer to residents under the Healthier SG initiative.

The pilot joint tender at Bartley Beacon will close on 29 May.

A space of about 100 sqm has been provided for the GP clinic at Bartley Beacon, as compared to the usual 50 sqm for GP clinics in shops owned by HDB.

The GP clinic at Bartley Beacon is expected to commence operations in Q4 2025.

Depending on the outcome of the pilot, MOH and HDB will review whether to extend this tender approach to other clinic sites in the future.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
