Navigating the Expression of Interest (EOI) Process on Gateway by ICN
Looking to connect with major projects and grow your business?
Understanding how to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through Gateway by ICN is a great place to start.
What is an EOI?
An EOI is simply putting your hand up for work. You can express interest in individual work packages listed on Gateway by ICN. The system allows for both 'full' and 'partial scope' EOIs, so it's important to read the attached scope of works carefully before submitting.
The diagram below shows you how ICN fits into the EOI decision-making process.
Why EOIs Matter
An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a way for project owners to gauge the capabilities of businesses interested in working on specific parts of a project.
Submitting an EOI is your opportunity to:
- Show your interest in a work package or opportunity
- Promote your business capabilities to project owners
- Get on the radar early in the procurement process
- Be considered for upcoming tenders or contract opportunities
Tips for a Strong EOI Submission
To increase your chances of being noticed, consider the following tips:
- Tailor your response to the opportunity
- Highlight relevant past projects or clients
- Ensure your capabilities and accreditations are clearly listed
- Keep your contact information and profile current
I submit EOIs all the time and I never hear anything!
We understand it can be frustrating not to receive feedback after submitting EOIs. It's important to note that ICN's role is to connect suppliers with project owners - we are not involved in selecting companies for RFQ/RFT or in any commercial negotiations.
We also work under strict confidentiality agreements with many proponents, which means we're often unable to provide individual feedback.
While submitting an EOI doesn't guarantee you'll be invited to tender, it does ensure that your business is seen by decision-makers and considered for relevant opportunities.
Need Help? If you're new to Gateway or need support with submitting an EOI, contact your local ICN office. Our industry specialists are here to help you connect with the right opportunities.
