## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business at the Princess Street branch. The service is post office counter provision, integrated into the retailer’s own operation and offered during the same opening hours as the wider business. The precise counter layout and design will be agreed with the selected retailer to suit the premises and business. The opportunity is classified as a service concession under a light-touch regime. The branch serves the UKD3 area, and the opportunity is intended for a vibrant, sustainable retail business able to add post office services to its existing or planned offer.

The process has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an accelerated, open competitive flexible procedure. It uses a multi-stage assessment of postmaster candidate suitability, with electronic submissions allowed in English. Expressions of interest and offers were due by 26 August 2026 at 23:59, and the award decision was due by 26 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 26 October 2026 to 26 October 2076. The estimated value is £8,000 gross, while estimated Post Office fees at the current location are stated as £8,000–£14,000 per annum. There is one lot. Evaluation first requires a pass on the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises that operate, or plan to establish, a sustainable retail business. Applicants need a credible business plan and finances strong enough to pass a mandatory financial assessment before their suitability is considered. They also need to demonstrate that they are suitable to run a Post Office branch, which may include the operational readiness, reliability and customer-service capability expected of a postmaster. The successful retailer will need capacity to integrate counter services into its premises and provide them throughout the same opening hours as the wider business. It is therefore relevant to retailers seeking an additional customer-facing service alongside their core offer.
