📋 Tender Overview
The Government Office has Document No. 6696/VPCP-CN conveying the instructions of Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc on the application and development of a system of urban railway standards and technical regulations. Download Complete and promulgate national technical regulations for urban railways in July 2026. In the above document, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Construction, according to its assigned functions and tasks, to urgently guide localities on the application of a shared set of basic technical specifications, a list of technical regulations and a list of major standards for urban railways for localities and investors to choose and apply to projects in accordance with regulations, ensuring uniformity, system, interconnected, advanced, modern and consistent with the railway industry development strategy. The Ministry of Construction urgently coordinates with the Ministry of Science and Technology and localities to review and complete to promulgate National Technical Regulations (QCVN) for urban railways (Metro type) in July 2026. The Ministry of Construction presides and coordinates with the Ministry of Science and Technology and relevant ministries and agencies to organize the construction and completion of the national standards system. (TCVN) for the urban railway sector, ensuring synchronization, system, connectivity, advanced, modern and consistent with the railway industry development strategy; Periodically review and update the list of standards and technical regulations to be consistent with technological advances and actual conditions, ensuring to meet the goals identified in Conclusion No. 18-KL/TW dated April 2, 2026 of the Second Conference of the 14th Party Central Committee on the Plan for socio-economic development, national finance and public borrowing and repayment, medium-term public investment for 5 years 2026 - 2030 is associated with implementing the goal of striving for 2-digit growth. At the same time, proactively coordinate with domestic training establishments in in-depth training on railway standardization; Organize research, study, and acquire experience in building and applying standards of countries and regions with developed railway systems such as Europe, China, Korea, Japan... Applying open and modern standards. The Deputy Prime Minister requested the Peoples Committee of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and localities, based on the set of shared basic technical specifications and the List of major standards and technical regulations under the guidance of the Ministry of Construction, to proactively organize The organization reviews, selects and approves specific standards to apply to urban railway projects in the area, on the basis of prioritizing the application of standards that are open, modern and capable of technology transfer; continue to build and complete the set of basic technical specifications for common use; During the implementation of projects, summarize application results, technical requirements and arising problems, coordinate with the Ministry of Construction to research, review and complete the set of basic technical parameters for common use. Urgently review and adjust urban planning and urban railway planning to ensure effective connection between lines in the same transport corridor, connection with other modes of transport, investment efficiency; Closely coordinate with the Ministry of Construction in summarizing and evaluating practical applications to complete the system of national standards and regulations on urban railways. Develop and implement the Railway Industry Development Project. The Ministry of Industry and Trade presides and coordinates with the Ministry of Construction and relevant agencies to develop, submit for approval and deploy the Railway Industry Development Project, which clearly defines the technology transfer roadmap, localization rate in each stage, and prioritizes the formation of production capacity in water for structures and equipment with appropriate technological content; promote localization, technology transfer and development of high-quality human resources. Relevant ministries, branches and localities coordinate with the Ministry of Construction in the process of developing, promulgating and organizing the implementation of standards and technical regulations on urban railways.* The Ministry of Construction said that the investment process to build 03 urban railway lines currently put into operation was implemented more than 16 years ago (including routes: Cat Linh - Ha Dong, Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien and Nhon - Hanoi Station). At that time, each line applied a different technology, system of standards and technical regulations, so there was a lack of synchronization in connection and operation between lines, limiting the ability to share technical infrastructure, maintenance facilities, vehicles and control systems... Therefore, it is necessary to have a unified technical framework to operate urban railways. Because: Unifying the system of standards and technical regulations is considered a fundamental requirement to ensure network development in a synchronous, compatible and effective manner. This is not only a technical issue but also an important condition for unification in investment preparation, implementation organization and management of system exploitation in the long term. The unified application of a system of standards and technical regulations will create a basis for improving the efficiency of investment capital use, increasing proactiveness in technology selection, ensuring system safety, and promoting economic development.Developing human resources and the domestic railway industry, while improving national technological autonomy. Furthermore, the length of routes that have been put into operation is still very small compared to the planned scale, while the coming period will focus on implementing many new projects. Therefore, this is the right time
