## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to run a Post Office Local branch in Cefn Y Bedd, integrating counter services into an existing or proposed retail business. The service is intended to operate alongside the retailer’s business during the same opening hours, with the branch layout and design agreed to suit the premises and business. The requirement is for post office counter services in Cefn Y Bedd, Wales. The successful retailer would combine postal services with a wider retail offer rather than operate a standalone post office. This could suit a business looking to add a local postal service to its existing shop or develop a retail business around that service.

The buyer invited offers through an open, multi-stage competitive procedure to assess candidates’ suitability. The submission deadline was 10 October 2026 at 23:59; the stated award decision date was 9 November 2026. The contract period is scheduled to run from 30 January 2027 to 30 January 2077. The stated procurement value is £8,000 gross, and estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £8,000–£14,000 per year, including the listed products. The assessment first requires a pass/fail review of the business plan and finances; applicants who do not pass do not proceed. Candidates then undergo an assessment of their suitability to run a Post Office branch. The opportunity is one lot.

The opportunity is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is aimed at a retailer able to incorporate postal counter services into an existing or proposed business and offer them during the retail business’s opening hours. Applicants need a viable business plan and finances that pass the mandatory financial assessment, followed by a suitability assessment for running a Post Office branch. The buyer says the layout and design can be agreed to fit the business, offering scope to integrate the service into different retail premises. This is best suited to operators with the commercial capacity to sustain a combined retail and postal counter offer over a long-term contract.
