The Palestine Trade Center (PalTrade), established in 1998, is a non-profit, membership-based organization mandated to lead the development and promotion of Palestinian trade as a driver of sustainable economic growth. PalTrade provides export development services, market intelligence, trade promotion, business linkages, and policy advocacy support to Palestinian businesses, with particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and export-ready companies.

• Improve product quality, market readiness, export competitiveness, and business linkages.

• Strengthen PalTrade's strategic transformation through the establishment and operationalization of the Market Intelligence Hub (MIH).

• Promote Palestinian products internationally through participation in trade fairs, exhibitions, and targeted market-entry activities.

The project runs from 18 July 2024 to 18 July 2027 and is implemented by PalTrade with financial support from the European Union.

3. Scope of Work

PalTrade is seeking a qualified and experienced logistics service provider to deliver the origin leg of the Rotterdam Hub export route, moving Palestinian consignments from the exporter’s premises to the Port of Ashdod for onward shipment to Rotterdam.
