UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to purchase the existing business at Post Office Branch – Halifax Rd, or to add a Post Office Local branch to an existing or proposed retail business. The service is post office counter provision, integrated into a vibrant and sustainable retail operation and offered during the retailer’s normal opening hours. The exact counter layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to fit the business. Delivery is in the Halifax Road area, WF16 0AE, within the United Kingdom. This is a service opportunity suited to a business that can combine post office operations with an established or planned customer-facing retail offer. Post Office Local services are the central requirement.

The process has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It is an accelerated, multi-stage process assessing postmaster candidate suitability under the light-touch regime. The deadline for submissions is 1 September 2026 at 23:59 British Summer Time, with the award decision due by 1 October 2026 at 23:59 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 1 November 2076. The estimated Post Office fees for the current location are £8,000 to £14,000 per annum; the recorded tender value is £8,000 gross. There is one lot. Assessment is in order of importance: a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is aimed at successful retailers that can purchase the current business or incorporate Post Office Local services into an existing or proposed retail operation. Suppliers will need a financially credible business plan and must pass the mandatory financial assessment before progressing to suitability assessment. They must also demonstrate that they are suitable to run a Post Office branch. The requirement therefore favours operators with a sustainable customer-facing retail model, the capacity to provide counter services during their wider business opening hours, and the ability to accommodate an agreed Post Office layout and design. The multi-stage process is specifically intended to assess postmaster candidate suitability.
