Post Office Local services would be integrated into the retail operation and offered during the same opening hours. The layout and design would be agreed to suit the retailer’s business. The work is the provision of post office counter services as part of a sustainable retail operation. The branch is in Easingwold, York, postcode YO61 3AA.

The buyer invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure with a multi-stage assessment of postmaster suitability. The tender submission deadline was 29 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC, with an award decision due by 29 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC.

Applicants need a credible business plan and finances that pass the mandatory financial assessment, followed by evidence that they meet the suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch.
