Fig 2: Process Chart


2.5 Guidelines for Expression of Interest (EOI):

M/s Jones Lang LaSalle has been appointed as Marketing Advisor by RLDA for these MFCs and separate

EOI may be sought by them as supplement information to the prospective bidder.

Objective: The Objective of the EOI is to increase the base for the participation in the MFC projects by end

users like retailers, hoteliers, banks, pharmacies, bookstores, who operate either individually or as large

corporate entities, who may or may not be interested in development of the project. The EOI is not a valid

bid in the development process, but instead serves as an offer for leasing of the eventual premises.

Expressions of interest are invited from end users like large chain retailers, hoteliers, and small individual

entrepreneurs interested in leasing the premises on a short term basis (min of 9 years) as an indicative

rental for developers who might be interested in leasing the land and developing the project.

Expressions of interest are also invited from large developers who have executed projects in multiple cities,

who may have a standard set of tenants. Since the process followed is an open tender, retailers and

hoteliers who are interested in development are advised to send in expressions of interest, as the EOI

would provide indicative rentals to the final winner of the bidding process.

The EOIs may be annexed to the amended tender document to enable greater transparency for

bidders.

Retailers and Hoteliers interested in leasing space may send in expressions of interest, as this will

provide an indicative rental for final leasing from the winner of the final bid.

EOI must be stamped and signed by the authorized signatory of the company.

EOI will not be the final contract between the winner of the bid and the end user, which will be

subject to negotiations etc. as in the case of any private commercial deal.

EOI from developers will not be considered as a valid bid for the project, since the valid bid will be

only considered as per the normal rules of tendering by RLDA.

EOI must be submitted within 15 days of the posting of this RFP for the MFCs on the website.
