## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business at Cabin Lane, Oswestry. The service will provide post office counter services alongside the retailer’s main business, using the same opening hours. The branch layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to fit the business. This is a customer-facing service concession within the light-touch services category, delivered in Oswestry, United Kingdom. The opportunity suits retailers that can add post office services to a sustainable, established or planned commercial operation, rather than businesses seeking a standalone postal-services contract.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses an accelerated, multi-stage process to assess postmaster candidate suitability. The deadline for registering interest and submitting an application is 18 August 2027 at 23:59, with the award decision due by 18 September 2027 at 23:59. The contract is due to run from 18 October 2027 to 18 October 2077. The estimated Post Office fees are £9,500–£11,500 per annum, while the published estimated gross opportunity value is £9,500. Electronic submissions are allowed in English. Evaluation is sequential: applicants must first pass a mandatory assessment of their business plan and finances, followed by assessment of their suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity is aimed at retailers, community businesses and other organisations able to integrate post office services into an existing or proposed retail operation. Applicants need to demonstrate a viable, sustainable business model and provide financial information sufficient to pass the mandatory financial assessment. They must also satisfy the buyer’s suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch and be able to operate the service over the same opening hours as the wider business. The exact premises layout and design can be agreed with the successful applicant, which may suit businesses planning a new retail proposition as well as established retailers with suitable space. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
