The Expression of Interest (EOI) process constitutes the first stage of a two-stage procurement process. The two-stage procurement process enables the Principal to evaluate the Respondent’s capabilities to provide the Principal’s requirements without requiring all Respondents to incur the additional costs involved with the preparation of fully detailed tenders. Only successful Respondents will be subsequently provided the opportunity to submit a tender for the contract to provide the Principal’s requirements.
