Govt receives 27 bids for smart and green mass transit project

Contracts will be awarded in 2027.

A total of 27 expressions of interest (EOI) were received for the Smart & Green Mass Transit System (SGMTS) project in the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen and Yuen Long South new development areas, the government.

The Transport Department, along with the Transport & Logistics Bureau, invited relevant system suppliers and operators to submit EOIs for the project in 20 December 2024.

According to the department the EOIs “will serve as a reference for firming up the specific requirements and designs of the SGMTS and the relevant infrastructure, as well as ascertaining the delivery mode and financial arrangements of the project.”

After making reference to the views, the government can explore various procurement options and review the feasibility of shortening the overall programme of the project.

Hong Kong plans to invite tenders for the project in 2026 and award the contract in 2027.
