This EOI is published to invite interested parties to demonstrate their interest in meeting the needs described in this announcement. This information may be included in a list of available spaces and used for potential future needs.
Section H – Not a Solicitation Process
Please note that this is not a call for tenders, nor a request for proposals, but a search for the availability of premises for rent. PSPC may not necessarily invite submissions, nor necessarily lease premises, and may not publish further announcements related to this request. Information provided in response to this EOI may be included in a list of available premises and PSPC may issue an invitation to tender for other leasing needs based on this information or any other information that may come to its attention before issuing a call for tenders; it may also launch a public tender. PSPC reserves the right to proceed with an invitation to submit lease offers and to invite only the parties it considers best meeting the specific requirements related to operations, security, and public safety.
