This invitation for the Expression of Interest (EOI) aims to identify qualified companies or landlords with available storage facilities for lease or rent within the Berbera town limits. The desired proximity should be within the Berbera port limits, in a maximum 3km radius from the port. Qualified companies and landlords are invited to participate in the EOI by providing details of facilities available for rent or lease. Based on the EOI results, WFP may assess the available candidates and further discuss contracting one or more companies or landlords. Solely for planning purposes: the storage facility will be required tentatively from August 2026 for a estimated period of up to 3 months, subject to final decision of the Programme.
