An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a formal process used by organizations, governments, or companies to gauge the interest of potential suppliers, contractors, vendors, or participants in a proposed project, program, or opportunity. It typically involves submitting a preliminary proposal or indication of intent, allowing the issuer to assess the pool of interested parties before proceeding to more detailed phases such as Request for Proposal (RFP) or formal negotiations.
