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 in Rhosbodrual, Gwynedd. The outlet would provide Post Office services alongside the retailer’s usual business, during the same opening hours. The layout and design will be agreed to suit the retailer’s premises and business. This is a local postal service concession, covering post office services (CPV 64100000). The opportunity is intended for a business with a viable retail offer that can host and operate a Post Office counter as part of its wider trading activity.

The buyer invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure with multiple stages to assess candidates’ suitability. The tender submission deadline was 14 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time; the stated award decision date was 14 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The proposed contract runs from 14 December 2026 to 14 December 2076. Estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £8,000–£14,000 per annum; the published procurement value is £8,000 gross. There is one lot. Evaluation begins with a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; applicants who fail do not proceed. The next assessment is suitability to run a Post Office branch.

The opportunity is suited to retailers able to add postal services to their existing business or develop a proposed retail venture around them. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable. A successful candidate needs a viable retail business, the financial capacity to pass the mandatory business-plan and finance assessment, and the suitability to run a Post Office branch. The service is integrated into the retailer’s operations and shares its opening hours, so bidders should be able to provide a suitable retail setting and accommodate a Post Office Local counter. The buyer will agree the precise layout and design with the selected retailer to fit the business.
