The Letter Of Intent Engineering is a crucial preliminary document used in Pakistani engineering and construction projects to establish the framework for future contractual relationships. It serves as a stepping stone between initial discussions and the final engineering contract, typically used when parties have agreed on basic terms but need time to negotiate detailed agreements. This document, while primarily non-binding except for specific provisions like confidentiality and exclusivity, outlines key commercial terms, project scope, and timeline commitments. It's particularly relevant in complex engineering projects where detailed contract negotiations may take considerable time, but parties need to demonstrate commitment and potentially begin preliminary works. The document must comply with Pakistani legal requirements, including the Contract Act 1872 and Pakistan Engineering Council regulations, while providing sufficient flexibility for final contract negotiations.
