Food commodity storage and processing facility operations tender – Doha, Qatar

The Hamad Port Project (HPP) is developing a major Food Commodities Processing and Storage Facilities in Hamad Port, to serve as a strategic national reserve for a minimum of 2 years for 3 million people. The Facility will provide storage for three basic food commodities: rice (330,000 metric tons), edible oil (120,000 metric tons) and sugar (180,000 tons).

Port Consultants Rotterdam assisted HPP in drafting the required documentation to source a suitable operator to manage the Facility, under a lease/concession type agreement, by means of a tender process. Through this agreement, the operator(s) will conduct operations while complying with the conditions of the concession agreement, such as ensuring a high performance that meet quality standards (measured by key performance indicators) and maintaining the minimum stock of food required by the State for distribution to the population when needed.
