UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed business at Perry Hall, Wolverhampton. The opportunity covers post office counter services delivered alongside the retailer’s main 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 service concession intended to integrate post office services into a vibrant and sustainable retail operation. It could suit businesses that want to add a public-facing postal service to an established shop or other retail venture, or operators developing a suitable new retail business in the Perry Hall area.

The procurement 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. Expressions of interest and submissions were due by 30 September 2026 at 23:59. The estimated award decision date was 30 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2076. The stated tender value is £8,000 gross, in pounds sterling; the estimated current Post Office fees are described as £8,000 to £14,000 per annum. Assessment starts with a mandatory pass/fail review of the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits retailers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and voluntary, community or social enterprises able to integrate counter services into a sustainable customer-facing business. Applicants need a credible existing or proposed retail operation, with opening hours capable of supporting the Post Office service. The business plan and financial position must pass a mandatory assessment before the application reaches the suitability stage, so operators should be able to demonstrate financial robustness and a viable operating model. The successful candidate will also need to meet the suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch and work with Post Office Limited on the counter’s layout and design. It is most relevant to businesses with retail management experience, premises in or serving Perry Hall, and the capacity to operate an additional public service alongside their core trade.
