EDB launches RFI exercise for foreign system schools

The exercise will allow FSS to invest in sites with long-term leases.

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) will launch a Request-For-Interest (RFI) exercise for Foreign System Schools (FSS) on 31 January 2024. 

EDB and the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) will also launch a tender to repurpose a brownfield site for FSS use with more details shared at a later date.

The exercise aims to ensure that Singapore continues to have schools and curricula that meet the diverse education needs of expatriate children.

Through this exercise, FSS can obtain sites on long-term leases which are greenfield sites on 30-year leases that are zoned for educational use.

The exercise will also provide FSS on short-term leases an opportunity to invest for the long term to expand their presence.

The RFI will be evaluated by an inter-agency committee led by EDB. Evaluations will be based on the quality of the proposal, track record, the ability to meet market demand, and the financial ability of the FSS operator.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
