## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed business at Westwoodside, serving the local community in the Doncaster area. The successful retailer would provide post office counter services alongside its main retail operation, using the same opening hours. The exact layout and design of the post office counter will be agreed with the retailer to suit the business premises. This is a service opportunity under a concession and light-touch regime. It is suited to businesses that can combine post office services with a vibrant, sustainable retail offer, such as a shop or other customer-facing operation. The opportunity is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure. It uses an accelerated, multi-stage process to assess candidates’ suitability to become postmasters. The tender submission deadline was 6 October 2026 at 23:59. The award decision was due by 6 November 2026 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value is £18,000 gross, in addition to the description’s estimate of current Post Office fees of £18,000 to £23,000 per annum. The proposed contract period runs from 6 December 2026 to 6 December 2076. There is one lot. Evaluation first requires a pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; applications that pass then undergo assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch. Electronic submissions are allowed in English.

This opportunity suits a retailer or prospective retailer able to integrate post office counter services into an established or planned customer-facing business. The buyer expects a financially viable operation, with a business plan and finances strong enough to pass a mandatory assessment before suitability is considered. Applicants must also demonstrate that they meet the suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch and can operate the service alongside their wider retail offer. The model is intended for a vibrant and sustainable business, with post office services available during the business’s opening hours. Premises layout and design can be agreed to fit the operation, which may help businesses adapting an existing site. Small businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are expressly within the intended supplier base.
