## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business in Folkingham. The service will provide Post Office counter services alongside the retailer’s own offer, using the same opening hours. The precise layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. The opportunity is intended for a vibrant and sustainable retail operation that can accommodate Post Office services as part of its normal customer offer. This is a service concession for post office counter operations, rather than a standalone construction or supply contract. The buyer is Post Office Limited, a public undertaking. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure with a multi-stage assessment of postmaster candidate suitability. The accelerated procedure is justified as a light-touch contract. Expressions of interest and applications must be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 23:59 BST; electronic submission is allowed in English. The estimated award decision date is 4 October 2026 at 23:59 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 November 2026 to 4 November 2076. The estimated gross tender value is £8,000, while estimated Post Office fees at the current location are stated as £8,000 to £14,000 per year. There is one lot. Evaluation first requires a pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits a retailer that already operates, or is proposing, a sustainable customer-facing business in Folkingham and wants to add Post Office services to its existing offer. The successful applicant will need to provide a business plan and pass the mandatory financial assessment before the application can proceed. The business must also meet the buyer’s suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch. Relevant strengths therefore include a credible retail proposition, sound finances, the capacity to provide counter services during the business’s opening hours and the ability to operate a branch responsibly over the contract term. The buyer states that the arrangement can suit SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate professional accreditation or technical qualification is identified.
