Timbre + Hawkers Private Limited (THPL) will hand over the operations and minimise disruptions to existing stallholders.
Patrons can continue to have access to food offerings at OPHC.
Singapore, 29 December 2025 – The National Environment Agency (NEA) will be calling an open tender in January 2026 to appoint a new operator for One Punggol Hawker Centre (OPHC).
2 The current operator, Timbre + Hawkers Private Limited (THPL), will conclude its tenancy on 14 August 2026. By that time, THPL would have fulfilled its initial two-year tenancy and completed two of the three years of its second term. THPL had indicated that the tenancy posed challenges for its ongoing operations at OPHC. Following discussions between NEA and THPL, both parties agreed to the 14 August 2026 end date.
3 THPL has committed to uphold the vibrancy of OPHC until the conclusion of the tenancy. In line with the agreement to bring in a new operator, THPL will not be participating in this open tender. NEA will work closely with THPL and the incoming operator to ensure minimal disruption to stallholders and patrons during this transition.
4 The well-being of existing individual stallholders is a priority for NEA. To provide stability and assurance, the new operator will be required to retain all existing individual stallholders who wish to continue their operations for at least two years. During this period, current rental rates will be maintained for the first year, with any subsequent adjustments capped at market-valued rental averages.
5 NEA remains committed to supporting hawkers and patrons while continuously improving Socially-conscious Enterprise Hawker Centres (SEHC) to better serve the community.
