The State of Kuwait, through the Partnerships Technical Bureau (PTB) in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications (MOC) has released a Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) to invite Kuwaiti and international companies to participate in the potential tendering of the provision of a depot, rolling stock, and control systems for the first Phase of the Kuwait Metropolitan Rapid Transit System Project (KMRT) through a public private partnership (PPP) model.
The RFEOI will be followed by a Request for Qualification and qualified consortia will be invited to submit a Request for Proposal (RFP).
The entire project consists of 69 stations (16 per cent underground) with total length of 160 km. PTB is currently focusing on delivering phase 1 of the project which will include the construction network of roughly 50 km, with 28 new stations, 30 per cent of which will be underground.
The Integrated Rolling Stock and Systems PPP is one of the five PPPs. The other four will be for the Design Build Finance and Maintain (DBFM) of four separate infrastructure packages. In addition, an operator contract will be procured separately by the PTB.
