The two "must read" documents I would recommend here are LEED's Minimum Program Requirements, discussed on this LEEDuser page, and the LEED Rating System Selection Policy.
My quick take—I would question whether the scope is large enough to justify a LEED-CI certification process. Prerequisites can't just be "waived," and you might have trouble with EAp2 in particular. I would review the CI checklist and consider how you would make out. Would you be able to attempt enough credits to earn a certification?
Trouble is, the only alternative LEED rating system here is LEED-EBOM and the tenant may have trouble applying that as well.

Thank you Tristan, this was very helpful. So the minimum scope of work is 60% of gross floor area. In terms of "waiving prerequisites" it was my understanding that if an energy system is not in the tenant scope of work, it does not have to be made to comply with EApr1, EApr2, EApr3. I understood through the comments on this site that only WEpr1 and IEQ pr1 must be met regardless of tenant scope and that in WEpr1 all fixtures that tenant uses must be included in calcs regardless of LEED boundary inclusion?

True, if the tenant fit-out does not have applicable systems within its scope then the EA prereqs could be a breeze. And your understanding of WEp1 is correct.
