The Transport and Logistics Bureau, jointly with the Transport Department (TD), invited relevant system suppliers and operators to submit expressions of interest (EOI) for the Smart and Green Mass Transit System (SGMTS) project in Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen and Yuen Long South New Development Areas (HSK/HT and YLS NDAs) on December 20, 2024. The invitation for the EOI closed today (February 28), and a total of 27 submissions from local, Mainland and overseas companies have been received.
A spokesperson for the TD said, "The feedback gathered from the EOI will enhance our understanding of various technical aspects of the project, including system characteristics, operational capabilities, and maintenance and repair requirements. We will immediately commence analysing the information from the EOI, which 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."
"The Government will continue to take forward the SGMTS in the HSK/HT and YLS NDAs project with full momentum, endeavouring to invite tenders for the project in 2026 and award the contract in 2027. In addition, we will make reference to the views gathered from the EOI to explore various procurement options, and to review the feasibility of shortening the overall programme of the project," the spokesperson added.
