UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local service into an existing or proposed business in Clun, Shropshire. The opportunity covers post office counter services delivered alongside the retailer’s normal business, using the same opening hours. The successful operator would provide a vibrant and sustainable retail setting in which Post Office services can be offered. The exact layout and design of the Post Office Local facility will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. This is a service concession aimed at businesses that can combine retail operations with the operation of a Post Office branch. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using an accelerated, multi-stage process to assess postmaster candidate suitability. Expressions of interest and submissions were due by 20 April 2027 at 23:59. The planned award decision date was 20 May 2027 at 23:59. The contract period was set from 20 June 2027 to 20 June 2077. The tender value is £12,950 gross, while the estimated Post Office fees for the current location are stated as £12,950 to £13,500 per year. Assessment begins with a mandatory pass/fail review of the applicant’s business plan and finances. Applicants passing that assessment are then assessed for suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits an established retailer or a business planning a new retail operation that can accommodate a Post Office Local counter within its premises. Strong candidates will need a credible business plan, sound finances and the ability to pass the mandatory financial assessment before progressing. They must also demonstrate that they meet the suitability requirements for running a Post Office branch. The service is intended to operate within a sustainable, customer-facing retail business and during the same opening hours as that business, so applicants should have appropriate premises, operational capacity and retail management capability. Small and medium-sized businesses, as well as voluntary, community or social enterprises, are expressly eligible to compete. The process assesses candidate suitability in stages.
