Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business at Broad Street Post Office. The opportunity covers post office counter services, integrated into a sustainable and vibrant retail operation and offered during the retailer’s normal opening hours. The exact counter layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. The work is delivered at the Broad Street branch in the B61 8LW area. This is a services opportunity under a light-touch concession regime, suited to businesses that can combine customer-facing retail operations with the delivery of Post Office services. The requirement is specifically aimed at a retailer willing to become and operate as a Post Office branch partner.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure. It uses an accelerated, multi-stage process to assess postmaster candidate suitability. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026 at 23:59 BST, with electronic submissions allowed in English. The estimated gross value is £8,000, and the stated estimated Post Office fees for the current location are £8,000 to £14,000 per annum. The contract is planned to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2076. The award decision was scheduled for 30 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. There is one lot. 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 suits an existing retailer or a business preparing to launch a retail operation that can incorporate a Post Office Local into its premises. Applicants need a credible business plan and finances strong enough to pass the mandatory financial assessment before their operational suitability is considered. They must also demonstrate that they meet the suitability requirements for running a Post Office branch. The arrangement is intended for a sustainable, customer-facing retail business able to provide Post Office services alongside its wider offer and maintain them throughout its opening hours. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, are identified as suitable participants. Retailers with premises, day-to-day operating capacity and a plan for integrating counter services are best placed to compete.
