UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer for its Tannochside branch in Scotland. The successful retailer can purchase the existing business or incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business. The service involves providing Post Office counter services as part of the retail operation, with Post Office services available during the retailer’s opening hours. The layout and design of the integrated Post Office Local will be agreed with the retailer to suit the business. The opportunity is therefore relevant to retailers interested in operating Post Office services alongside their core retail offer, whether by taking on the existing branch business or adding Post Office services to a business they already run or plan to establish.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a multi-stage assessment of candidates’ suitability. The tender submission deadline was 20 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC; the stated end of the award period was 20 February 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is from 20 March 2027 to 20 March 2077. Estimated Post Office fees at the current location are stated as £46,350–£51,500 per year; the published procurement value is £46,350. Assessment begins with a mandatory pass/fail review of the business plan and finances; applications that do not pass do not proceed. The next assessment is suitability to run a Post Office branch. One lot is identified, and the opportunity is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits a retailer able to operate a sustainable retail business and deliver Post Office services alongside its normal trading activity. The branch’s Post Office service is intended to share the retailer’s opening hours, so bidders should be prepared to incorporate the service into their operating arrangements. Candidates need a credible business plan and finances that pass the required financial assessment, followed by evidence that they are suitable to run a Post Office branch. The buyer says the layout and design can be agreed to fit the business. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.
