UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Main branch into an existing or proposed business in Spilsby. The service would provide a dedicated Post Office area with the full range of Post Office services. The layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the host business. This is a public-facing post office counter service rather than a standalone construction or supply contract. The opportunity suits retailers, convenience businesses and other operators able to accommodate a dedicated Post Office operation within their premises. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, are identified as suitable participants.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open, accelerated competitive flexible procedure for a light-touch contract. It uses a multi-stage process to assess postmaster candidate suitability. Expressions of interest must be registered by 6 October 2026 at 23:59:59. The award decision is due by 6 November 2026 at 23:59:59, with the contract scheduled to run from 6 December 2026 to 6 December 2076. The lot has an estimated gross value of £55,000, while the description gives estimated current Post Office fees of £55,000 to £62,000 per annum. Evaluation first requires a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity is suited to an established retailer or an operator with a credible proposed retail business that can integrate a full-service Post Office Main branch. Bidders need to demonstrate financial viability through the mandatory financial assessment and provide a business plan capable of supporting the operation. They must also meet the suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch and pass the subsequent candidate assessment. Relevant strengths include retail management, customer-facing service delivery, the ability to provide suitable premises and staffing, and the capacity to operate a dedicated counter area within an existing or new business. The process is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSE organisations.
