Hanoi: Priority will be given to contractors who apply advanced, environmentally friendly technologies in major projects.

On the afternoon of December 13th, at its twenty-ninth session, the Hanoi City People's Council passed a Resolution stipulating the content, documents, conditions, criteria, order, and procedures for selecting contractors and investors in special cases for large and important projects in the capital city.

The resolution aims to concretize the implementation of Resolution No. 258/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on piloting a number of special mechanisms and policies for Hanoi , while creating a clear legal basis to accelerate the progress of projects of strategic importance to the development of the Capital city.

One of the overarching themes of the Resolution emphasizes the principles of implementation, including ensuring openness, transparency, and feasibility; preventing corruption, embezzlement, waste, and negative practices; and avoiding complications related to security and order.

The resolution also aims to reform administrative procedures, simplify processes, shorten processing times, and clearly define the responsibilities of each agency, organization, and individual in the implementation process.

Notably, the selection of contractors and investors prioritizes units that apply advanced, environmentally friendly technologies, in line with the sustainable development requirements of the capital city.

Regarding contractor selection in special cases, the Resolution specifies details from the preparation and approval of the contractor selection plan to its implementation. For investor selection in special cases, particularly for investment projects under the public-private partnership (PPP) method or as stipulated in the Investment Law, the Resolution clearly defines the central role of the Department of Finance in inviting investors, receiving proposals, and advising on the organization of evaluations.

The investor's dossier must fully demonstrate their legal capacity, financial capacity, ability to secure funding, and project implementation plan that meets the requirements for progress, quality, and investment efficiency. The evaluation is conducted through an inter-agency evaluation team established by the Chairman of the City People's Committee, ensuring objectivity and comprehensiveness in the consideration and selection of investors.

The resolution clearly stipulates that the authority to approve the results of the investor selection rests with the Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee, based on the dossier and evaluation report from the Department of Finance.

For component projects that need to be implemented immediately as directed by competent authorities, the procedures for selecting investors will be applied uniformly according to general regulations, ensuring flexibility while remaining strict and in accordance with the law.

The issuance and implementation of the Resolution is expected to create an important legal framework, contributing to removing procedural bottlenecks, accelerating the progress of large and important projects, thereby promoting socio -economic development and enhancing the position of Hanoi in the new period.
