The resolution aims to concretize the implementation of National Assembly Resolution No. 258/2025/QH15 on piloting special mechanisms and policies for Hanoi and to establish a clear legal basis to accelerate strategically significant projects for the Capital's development.

Delegates at the session. 

It clearly defines the scope of application as major and important projects falling under special cases specified in Clause 1, Article 5 of Resolution No. 258/2025/QH15. Applicable entities include state agencies, domestic and foreign organizations and individuals involved in contractor and investor selection, with the objective of strengthening the effectiveness and efficiency of state management in investment and construction across the city.

A core focus of the resolution is the set of implementation principles, which require transparency, feasibility and strict prevention of corruption, losses, waste and misconduct while avoiding any complications related to security and public order. It also targets administrative reform by simplifying procedures, shortening processing time and clearly defining the responsibilities of each agency, organization and individual during implementation.

Notably, contractor and investor selection is oriented toward prioritizing entities that apply advanced and environmentally friendly technologies in line with the Capital's sustainable development goals.

For contractor selection under special circumstances, the resolution sets out specific provisions from the preparation and approval of selection plans through to implementation. For investor selection, particularly for public-private partnership projects or projects governed by the Investment Law, it assigns a central role to the Department of Finance in inviting investors, receiving proposal dossiers and advising on evaluation.

Investor dossiers must demonstrate legal capacity, financial capacity, financing arrangements and project implementation plans that meet requirements on progress, quality and investment efficiency. Evaluation will be conducted by an interagency evaluation team established by the decision of the Chair of the City People's Committee to ensure objectivity and a comprehensive assessment.

The resolution specifies that authority to approve investor selection results rests with the Chair of the Hanoi People's Committee, based on dossiers and evaluation reports submitted by the Department of Finance. For component projects requiring immediate implementation under competent directives, selection procedures will be applied uniformly under general regulations to ensure flexibility while maintaining legal rigor.

Overview of the session. 

The City People's Committee is responsible for compiling the list of projects subject to the special mechanism, issuing documents within its authority and organizing the implementation of the resolution. The People's Council, its Standing Committee, committees, delegation groups and councilors will oversee implementation, with coordination from the Vietnam Fatherland Front of Hanoi and socio-political organizations to ensure effective enforcement.

The resolution takes effect from December 13, 2025, and will expire concurrently with National Assembly Resolution No. 258/2025/QH15. Its issuance and implementation are expected to create an important legal framework to remove procedural bottlenecks, accelerate major projects and promote socio-economic development while enhancing Hanoi's standing in the new phase.
