UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business in Kirby Muxloe, Leicester. The requirement is for post office counter services, integrated with the retailer’s wider operation rather than delivered as a separate branch. The successful retailer would provide Post Office services during the same opening hours as the host business. The layout and design of the Post Office Local will be agreed with the retailer to suit the premises and business. This is a concession-style service opportunity for businesses able to combine customer-facing retail operations with post office provision. It may suit an established local shop or another sustainable retail business planning to operate in the area.

The process has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It is an accelerated, light-touch, multi-stage process assessing postmaster candidate suitability. Expressions of interest were due by 7 September 2026 at 23:59, with the award decision due by 7 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 November 2026 to 7 November 2076. The published tender value is £8,000 gross, while the estimated Post Office fees for the current location are stated as £8,000 to £14,000 per annum. Evaluation is ranked in order: a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch. Electronic submissions in English were allowed.

This opportunity suits retailers that can host and operate a Post Office Local as part of a broader, vibrant and sustainable business. Applicants need to demonstrate financial viability through their business plan and finances, and pass the buyer’s suitability assessment for running a Post Office branch. The requirement is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses should be prepared to operate the Post Office service alongside their existing or proposed retail offer, maintain compatible opening hours and work with Post Office Limited on the branch layout and design. Strong local retail operations, customer service capability, sound financial management and the capacity to sustain a long-term branch arrangement would be relevant to the assessment.
