UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to purchase the existing Sauchiehall Street Post Office business in Glasgow, or to incorporate Post Office Local services into an existing or proposed retail business. The service is a post office counter operation integrated into a sustainable, customer-facing shop, with Post Office services available during the retailer’s opening hours. The precise layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. Delivery is at the Sauchiehall Street branch in Glasgow. This is a services opportunity covering post office counter services. It is intended for a retailer able to operate a viable shop alongside the Post Office service, rather than for a standalone facilities or construction contractor.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a multi-stage process to assess postmaster candidates. Expressions of interest and submissions may be made electronically in English. The enquiry deadline is 27 February 2027 at 23:59 UTC, and the award decision is due by 27 March 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 27 April 2027 to 27 April 2077. The published gross procurement value is £14,000, while estimated Post Office fees at the current location are between £8,000 and £14,000 per annum, inclusive of the listed products. The offer is evaluated first on a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances, then on suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized retailers that can provide or develop a vibrant, sustainable retail business and add Post Office Local services to it. Suitable applicants may be seeking to acquire the current business or extend an existing shop with a complementary counter service. The buyer will assess the applicant’s business plan and finances before considering branch-running suitability, so applicants need credible commercial planning and sufficient financial standing to pass the mandatory assessment. They must also demonstrate that they are suitable to operate a Post Office branch and have the practical capacity to provide services throughout their retail opening hours. The opportunity is therefore relevant to established retailers, prospective shop operators and retail businesses planning a new premises-based venture in Glasgow.
