EOI (Expression of Interest)

An early-stage invitation for suppliers to register interest in an upcoming opportunity, often used to shortlist before a full tender.

In depth

An EOI (or RFI/prequalification) gauges market interest and capability before a formal tender, and is frequently used to build a shortlist of qualified bidders for the next stage.

How Bid.Guide helps

Bid.Guide surfaces EOIs early so you can prepare and register before the full ITT is released.
