Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to take on the existing Post Office business at Callow End, Worcester, or add Post Office Local services to an existing or planned retail business. The service would be integrated into the retailer’s premises and offered during the same opening hours as the shop. The layout and design would be agreed to suit the business. The work is the provision of post office counter services. The opportunity is suited to retailers able to operate a sustainable local shop alongside Post Office services.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure with a multi-stage assessment of candidate suitability. The submission deadline was 26 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC; the stated award decision date was 26 December 2026. The contract period is scheduled to run from 26 January 2027 to 26 January 2077. The published estimated annual Post Office fees for the current location are £6,500–£7,500; the procurement value is stated as £6,500 gross. The process has one lot. Evaluation includes a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; applications that fail do not proceed to the suitability assessment for running a Post Office branch.

This opportunity is aimed at retailers who can provide a vibrant, sustainable business and incorporate Post Office services into their shop’s operating hours. Applicants need a business plan and finances capable of passing the required financial assessment, followed by an assessment of their suitability to run a Post Office branch. The buyer expects a multi-stage assessment, so candidates need to demonstrate both financial viability and operational suitability. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable bidders. The arrangement could suit an existing retailer seeking to add post office services, or a retailer planning a new business that can accommodate them.
