The allocation involved two main categories:

This balloting was open to CIDB Grade G1 contractors in Kinta District for civil engineering works and contractors registered with the Ministry of Finance (MOF). 

To ensure compliance with the regulations set, the registration process and verification of CIDB, PKK and TCC certificates were carried out in advance. 

A total of 125 contractors successfully registered. However, blacklisted contractors will not be selected from this draw process to ensure that the integrity and credibility of project implementation is always maintained. 

The procurement value for each balloting is capped at RM200,000, in accordance with the Malaysia Treasury Circular PK 2.21 – Government Procurement/Project Implementation Methods 2026, thus proving the commitment of the Government and MBI in providing fair opportunities to small contractors, especially G1 contractors.

The Mayor of Ipoh also expressed confidence that the implementation of these works will not only accelerate urban infrastructure development, but also boost the economic growth of Perak and support the sustainability of the local contractor industry. 

For the record, the balloting notice was displayed via the Ipoh City Council Official Portal, with online registration open from 4 to 10 June 2026. 

Ipoh City Council would like to extend its highest appreciation and gratitude to all parties involved in making this event a success, especially the Balloting Committee, contractor association representatives, media partners and contractors who always provide good cooperation.
