## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to purchase or incorporate a Post Office Main branch within an existing or proposed business in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire. The service is post office counter provision, with a dedicated Post Office area and the full range of Post Office services. The exact layout and design of the branch will be agreed with the successful retailer to fit the business. The opportunity is classified as a service and is being procured under a concession and light-touch regime. It may suit a retailer looking to add a substantial public-facing service to an existing shop or another suitable commercial premises, or a business planning a new retail operation around the branch.

The procurement has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure with multiple stages to assess candidate suitability. The deadline for registering interest and submitting an application is 30 September 2026 at 23:59 BST. The intended award period ends on 30 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC, and the contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2076. There is one lot, with a gross value of £15,000. Estimated Post Office fees for the current location are stated as £15,000–£19,000 per year. Applications may be submitted electronically in English. Evaluation starts with a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances, followed by assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits an established retailer or a business proposing a new retail venture that can accommodate a dedicated Post Office area and deliver a full range of counter services. Applicants need to demonstrate financial viability through the mandatory business-plan and finance assessment; failing it prevents progression to the suitability assessment. They must also meet the suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch, so relevant retail management, customer service and operational experience will be useful in demonstrating readiness, although the published criteria focus on suitability rather than naming particular qualifications or accreditations. The arrangement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses should be able to operate a long-term branch service from suitable premises in Kidwelly.
