The invitation of expressions of interest (EOI) in relation to Kai Tak’s smart and green mass transit system (SGMTS) project ended today at noon, with a total of 30 submissions from local, Mainland and overseas companies having been received.

The Transport & Logistics Bureau, jointly with the Civil Engineering & Development Department, invited system suppliers and operators to submit EOIs for the project on August 29.

The department said it will immediately begin assessing the EOIs received, adding that information submitted will serve as a reference for establishing the technical details, delivery mode and financial arrangements for the project.

It intends to invite tenders for the project next year, and aims to award the works contract in 2026.

The department added that, as announced by the Chief Executive in his Policy Address last week, the Government will continue to take the Kai Tak project forward and, by adopting innovative modes of implementation and construction methods, hopes to complete it three years ahead of the original target commissioning date.
