Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited sought a retailer to take on its Keighley branch, either by purchasing or incorporating a Post Office Main into an existing or proposed business. The service is post office counter services, delivered from a dedicated Post Office area offering the full range of services. The exact layout and design are to be agreed with the retailer to suit its business. The branch is in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected: Jasbinder Sandhu trading as Yorkshire Post Office. The award, dated 7 October 2026, is recorded as pending. Its gross value is £1.1 million. The contract period is scheduled to run from 19 November 2026 to 9 November 2076. The competition used an open competitive flexible procedure with a multi-stage assessment of postmaster candidates. Three bids were received and one reached the final stage. The opportunity was divided into one lot. Evaluation required a pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances before suitability to run a Post Office branch was assessed. The bid deadline was 12 May 2026.

This requirement suits a retailer able to operate a full-service post office counter alongside its business, either by incorporating the service into an existing operation or establishing a proposed business around it. The successful candidate had to pass a financial assessment of its business plan before being considered for suitability to run a branch. A credible competitor would therefore need a viable, well-supported business plan and finances that meet the buyer’s assessment, as well as the ability and suitability to manage a Post Office branch. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was met by a smaller business.
