Federal Government Employees Housing Authority plans to outsource four amenity plots in G-13, G-14

The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) has decided to outsource four amenity plots designated for health and educational facilities in G-13 and G-14 sectors. Sources from the Ministry of Housing and FGEHA revealed that these plots, which include a hospital, dispensaries, and a school, would be allocated to private firms through a joint venture model based on the Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) approach.

The FGEHA board recently approved the outsourcing of these four plots on a 20-year initial concession period, which could be extended by another 10 years. The allocated sites are expected to be developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework, with the private partner responsible for construction, operation, and maintenance costs while FGEHA retains ownership.

The decision came after detailed deliberations, following initial discussions about the 4,813 square yards earmarked for the hospital and dispensary in G-14 Markaz, the 67 square yards for a dispensary in G-14/4, and the 333 square yards for a school in G-14/3. Sources revealed that the board also considered the potential of these sites to generate revenue for FGEHA and provide essential social infrastructure.
