MyHSR Corp to launch PDP tender

MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR Corp) will call for a tender to appoint the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (KL-SG HSR) project tomorrow.

The company said the PDP will be responsible to develop the detailed design for the infrastructure works which includes the station and the alignment structures (i.e. bridges, tunnels and embankments) within Malaysia and construct these works on budget and on time. In addition to the detailed design and delivery of the infrastructure works (detailed design and delivery), the PDP will also be required to assist with interface management, land

acquisition processes and stakeholder engagement activities.

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 in 2018.
