The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has stated it followed the Office of the Procurement Regulator's (OPR) list regarding its procurement practices. The HDC submitted its Annual Procurement Plan (APP) in December 2025, outlining its intention to utilize limited bidding for contract awards.

This method of procurement, which involves selecting a small number of suppliers to bid on a contract, differs from open bidding where all interested parties can participate. The HDC's adherence to the OPR's guidance on this matter suggests a structured approach to its contracting processes, aiming to comply with regulatory frameworks.

The context provided by the HDC indicates a procedural step in their operations, emphasizing their compliance with the OPR's directives. The specifics of the OPR list and the implications of using limited bidding for HDC contracts would require further detail to fully assess the procurement strategy's impact.
