## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business at the Marpool Lane branch. The service is a post office counter integrated into a wider retail operation, allowing Post Office services to be provided during the retailer’s normal opening hours. The exact layout and design will be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. The requirement is for post office counter services, classified under CPV 64114000, and is treated as a service concession under the light-touch regime. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The opportunity is relevant to retailers able to add and operate a Post Office counter alongside their main business.

The process has reached tender: Post Office Limited invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure with an accelerated timetable for a light-touch contract. It uses a multi-stage process to assess postmaster suitability. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026 at 23:59 BST, with the award decision due by 30 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2076. The tender and lot values are £8,000 gross. The description also gives estimated Post Office fees at the current location of £8,000 to £14,000 per annum. Electronic submissions are allowed in English. Evaluation first requires a pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; applications passing this stage are then assessed for suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity suits an established retailer or a business proposing a viable new retail operation that can incorporate a Post Office Local without separating it from the main premises. Applicants need to demonstrate financial standing through a business plan and financial assessment, as failure at this mandatory stage prevents further consideration. They must also meet the suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch and show that their business model can support integrated counter services during its opening hours. The process is designed for postmaster candidates and may suit smaller businesses, community enterprises and social enterprises as well as commercial retailers. The successful applicant will work with Post Office Limited on the counter’s layout and design, allowing the service to be fitted around the existing or proposed retail business.
