Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is buying self-service equipment for its UK network and Banking Hubs. The requirement covers new automated teller machines (ATMs), multi-function deposit machines (MFDs) and other self-service devices such as kiosks. ATM supply includes cash-dispensing hardware, including internal free-standing machines with front or rear servicing and through-the-wall models. MFD supply covers machines handling banknotes and potentially coins, in the same installation formats. Devices capable of multiple functions may include cash recycling. The equipment is intended for cash dispensing through ATMs and cash deposit services through MFDs. The arrangement may cover outright purchase or leasing and other commercial models. The relevant goods classifications include automatic cash dispensers, coin-handling equipment and financial leasing services.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It is a single-lot goods contract. The enquiry deadline was 11 September 2026 at 10:00, and the tender submission deadline is 25 September 2026 at 10:00. The estimated value is £6,000,000 excluding VAT (£7,200,000 including VAT). The contract period is 2 December 2026 to 1 December 2031, with award expected by 1 November 2026. Evaluation is based on price at 60%, equipment-supply method statements at 30% and social-value method statements at 10%. Bidders must meet Post Office minimum requirements set out in Appendix 9 of the procurement documentation. Additional purchases may be made during the contract term.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors, lessors or integrated suppliers of ATMs, multi-function deposit machines, kiosks and related cash-handling equipment. Suppliers should be able to provide new devices in internal free-standing and through-the-wall configurations, supporting front or rear servicing where required. Capability to handle banknotes is central; MFD suppliers may also need coin-handling and cash-recycling functionality. The requirement is suited to businesses with the operational capacity to support deployment across a national network and Banking Hubs, although the published requirement does not guarantee the full potential equipment quantities. Bidders will need to demonstrate compliance with the Post Office’s minimum technical requirements, prepare equipment-supply method statements and address social value. Leasing and alternative commercial models create scope for suppliers offering equipment finance as well as direct supply.
