UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local counter into an existing or proposed retail business. The service is intended to operate alongside the retailer’s business, using the same opening hours. The exact counter layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the premises and business. This is a post office counter service opportunity in Terrington St Clements, near King’s Lynn. It is aimed at businesses able to provide a suitable, sustainable retail environment and integrate Post Office services into their normal operations. The requirement is classified as a service and is suitable for both 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. It uses an accelerated, multi-stage process, including assessment of candidate suitability. Expressions of interest and applications must be submitted by 1 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC, with the award decision due by 1 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is planned to run from 1 February 2027 to 1 February 2077. The published tender value is £10,500 gross. Post Office fees in the current location are estimated at £10,500 to £13,000 per year. The evaluation first requires a pass on the business plan and financial assessment, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch. Electronic submission in English is allowed.

This opportunity suits an established retailer or a business planning a retail operation that can add postal and counter services to its existing offer. Applicants need a viable business plan and sufficient financial strength to pass the mandatory financial assessment before their operational suitability is considered. The successful candidate must be able to run a Post Office Local as part of a sustainable retail business, maintain compatible opening hours and provide premises whose layout can accommodate an agreed counter design. Applicants should therefore have practical retail management capability, the resources to operate an additional customer-facing service and a credible understanding of how Post Office operations would fit their business. The process expressly welcomes SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
