4.3  Release of the Invitation for EOI

The Invitation for EOI is typically advertised publicly to provide an opportunity for all interested parties to respond. Specific jurisdictional requirements may require making the EOI available through certain procurement websites or may otherwise require the application of prescribed advertising guidelines.  The timeframes for responses vary depending on the scale and nature of the project, although a typical period for responses is around four to six weeks.

Where it is considered relevant, depending on the nature of the project, a briefing session may be held for parties interested in responding to the invitation for EOI. This can add value to the project by more clearly communicating and / or reiterating the requirements of government.
