“This tender is open to all interested parties with experience in the design, construction and project management of railway infrastructure,” he added.
The PDP and upcoming Assets Company (AssetsCo) tenders are two major procurement exercises at this current stage of the KL-SG HSR project.
The PDP tender focuses on the civil infrastructure portion of the project, while the AssetsCo tender, expected to be launched by end of this year, focuses on systems and trains. Both tenders are expected to be completed next year.
MyHSR said the project had progressed well since the signing of the bilateral agreement last December.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak recently unveiled the concept designs for the seven HSR stations in Malaysia.
MyHSR Corp is in the midst of its public inspection exercise, which lasts for three months from November 1 until January 31 next year.
In addition, the Environmental Impact Assessment study for the project is underway.
