UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to operate Post Office services at the Brackla Way branch. The opportunity is for a retailer either to purchase the current business or to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business. The service is a Post Office Local counter, integrated into a wider retail operation and offered during the retailer’s opening hours. The branch layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. This is a service concession for post office counter services, delivered at Brackla Way in the United Kingdom. The requirement is suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses an accelerated, multi-stage process under the light-touch regime, with candidate suitability assessed in stages. Electronic submissions are allowed and applications must be in English. The buyer set 1 October 2026 at 23:59 BST as the submission deadline, with an award decision due by 30 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2076. The published gross value is £8,000. Evaluation first requires a pass/fail assessment of the applicant’s business plan and finances; applicants passing that stage are assessed for their suitability to run a Post Office branch. The opportunity is treated as a concession and light-touch service procurement.

This opportunity suits an established retailer or an entrepreneur with an existing or proposed retail business capable of integrating Post Office Local services into normal shop operations. Strong applicants will need a viable business plan and finances that pass the mandatory financial assessment, followed by evidence that they are suitable to run a Post Office branch. The model allows the Post Office counter to operate during the wider retail business’s opening hours, so applicants should be able to provide suitable premises, staffing and operational capacity for a reliable customer-facing service. The buyer will agree the branch layout and design with the successful retailer, offering scope to accommodate the counter within a sustainable retail format. Small businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are eligible to pursue it.
