MRT-3, LRT-2: DoTr targets 2026 bids
The Department of Transportation (DoTr) plans to begin the bidding for the operations and maintenance contracts of LRT-2 and MRT-3 in the first half of 2026.
Transportation Undersecretary Timothy John R. Batan confirmed the timeline, stating that both LRT-2 and MRT-3 O&M contracts will be submitted for bidding simultaneously.
For MRT-3, the government is pursuing a dual-track approach, accepting both solicited bids and open to unsolicited proposals.
The solicited bidding process for the MRT-3 project is targeted for early 2026, with the Asian Development Bank assisting in this endeavor.
DoTr has also indicated the receipt of an unsolicited proposal for the MRT-3 O&M but has not disclosed the identity of the proponent, referring to them as a 'usual suspect'.
