Document background
The Government Letter of Intent serves as an important preliminary step in Singapore public sector procurement processes. It is typically used when a government agency has identified a potential vendor or partner but needs to establish preliminary understanding before proceeding with formal contracting. The document outlines key project parameters, basic commercial terms, and compliance requirements while maintaining its non-binding nature. It must align with Singapore's Government Procurement Act, related regulations, and international obligations under various trade agreements. The LOI helps facilitate project planning and resource allocation while ensuring transparency in public sector engagements.
