## Summary

Post Office Limited procured the operation of a Post Office branch on Dover Road. The requirement is for a successful retailer to incorporate Post Office counter services into an existing business or a proposed new business, maintaining the branch at its current location. This is a public-facing service concession rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is Post Office Limited, a public undertaking. The service is associated with the Dover Road branch location, and the awarded service classification is post office counter services. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent retailers, convenience businesses and other operators able to run a customer-facing retail outlet alongside Post Office services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. The contract was awarded to MUSTAFA YAHYA HUSSEIN AHMED AL-QADHI, an SME, for a gross value of £52,500. Post Office Limited states that estimated Post Office fees in the current location were in the range of £47,500 to £52,500 per annum. The award covers one lot and the contract period runs from 21 November 2026 to 21 November 2076. A future contract signature was scheduled for 21 September 2026. The direct award was justified because the previous contract ended due to an unforeseen event and continuity of service was required to maintain the Post Office at its current location. The arrangement falls under concession and light-touch regimes.

This award demonstrates demand for retailers able to combine Post Office counter services with an existing or proposed business. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the premises, operational capacity and customer-facing retail capability to maintain a branch at the required location, while delivering reliable day-to-day counter services. The buyer’s use of a direct award to preserve continuity indicates that uninterrupted local service is commercially important, so resilience, dependable staffing and the ability to take over or sustain an established outlet would strengthen a supplier’s position. The awarded operator is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller independent business rather than only by a national retail chain. Relevant experience in retail operations and public-facing transaction services would be valuable.
