The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) submitted its Annual Procurement Plan (APP) map to the Office of the Procurement Regulator (OPR) in December 2025, indicating it would be using limited bidding to award contracts.

In the APP document, the HDC outlined its plan for the construction of more than 3,000 housing units across Trinidad at a cost of $3.4 billion, to be funded primarily by 11 private contractors under the limited bidding arrangement which has been historically utilised by the State enterprise.

Limited bidding is a procurement method where a government agency or State body invites only a selected group of pre-qualified contractors or suppliers to submit bids for a project, instead of opening the process to the general public.
