The Contract was signed in Suining City on 28 March 2012 (Wednesday) between Mr. Hee Ah Mui, Executive Vice President, JURONG Consultants and Mr. Liu Fenghua, Party Secretary, Sichuan Suining Economic Development Zone. The signing of the MOU was witnessed by the Chief Executive Officer of Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) and the Vice Mayors of Suining Municipal Government.
Suining is a prefecture-level city of eastern Sichuan province in Southwest China. It is located between Chongqing and Chengdu and is positioning itself as an important industrial support base for industries from these two provincial capital cities. Suining Economic Development Zone was approved in April 2006 as a provincial development zone.
SCE has been engaging the Suining Municipal Government since late last year to assist in the development of their industrial economic zone master planning. In February 2012, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between SCE and the Suining Municipal Government. Under the framework of the MOU, SCE will be aggregating the relevant Singapore experts to provide advisory services on industrial master planning and customise training programmes for the Suining government officials.
The Contract signed on Wednesday is under the ambit of the MOU to provide industrial design and consultancy services to Suining City. SCE is the lead agency that introduced JURONG Consultants to Sichuan Suining Economic Development Zone and helped pitched for JURONG Consultants to be the appointed consultants for the project.
Under the Contract, JURONG Consultants will provide consultancy services for the 140 sq km development zone, which include carrying out positioning studies, master plan review, detailed master planning and urban design services. The project will be executed in phases over a period of eight months. SCE will also be providing customise training programmes to the senior government officials. SCE will bring in relevant public and private sector partners in Singapore to exchange knowledge and information in urban master planning. The first batch of training for the Suining government officials is expected to start in end April 2012.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Alphonsus Chia, Chief Executive Officer, SCE said,
“SCE is happy to introduce our Singapore consultants to assist Sichuan Suining Economic Development Zone in their industrial master planning. We hope that through this partnership, not only will it enhance existing bilateral relationship between Singapore and the Suining Municipal Government; it will also lead to more downstream opportunities for our private sector companies. We are optimistic of Suining’s future development and look forward to receiving the Suining delegates in Singapore for their training.”
In addition to the above contract, Suining Municipal Government has also requested for SCE and JURONG Consultants to provide industrial design and consultancy services for another of their development zone; discussions are underway.
