UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to add Post Office Local counter services to an existing or proposed retail business at Barrow Hill, Chesterfield. The service is intended to operate alongside the retailer’s business and share its opening hours, creating a combined retail and postal-service offer. The branch layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. The work is the provision of post office counter services (CPV 64114000) and is delivered at the Barrow Hill branch in Chesterfield.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, multi-stage process to assess candidates’ suitability to run the branch. The deadline for submissions was 14 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time; the stated deadline for the award decision was 14 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is 14 December 2026 to 14 December 2076. The published gross estimated value is £6,500. Evaluation begins with a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; applications that fail do not proceed. Candidates who pass are assessed for suitability to run a Post Office branch. The opportunity is a single requirement, and both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable.

This opportunity suits a retailer able to integrate postal counter services into an established shop or a proposed retail business, and operate the two services over the same opening hours. The retailer needs a viable business plan and finances that pass the mandatory financial assessment, followed by evidence that they meet the suitability requirements for running a Post Office branch. The buyer will agree the counter’s layout and design with the successful candidate to fit the retailer’s business, allowing the arrangement to be tailored to the premises. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable. The opportunity is therefore relevant to retailers seeking to add a postal service to their commercial offer, rather than suppliers providing postal equipment or stand-alone logistics services.
