## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to take on the Finchley Post Office Main branch, either by purchasing it or incorporating it into an existing or proposed business. The branch would provide a dedicated Post Office area and the full range of Post Office services. Its exact layout and design would be agreed with the successful retailer to suit the business. This is a post office counter service opportunity, with the branch located in Finchley, London. The requirement is for a retailer to operate the branch as part of a commercial business, rather than for the supply of equipment or a standalone advisory service.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a multi-stage assessment of candidates. The submission deadline was 13 October 2026 at 23:59 BST; the stated award decision deadline was 13 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period was set to run from 13 December 2026 to 13 December 2076. Estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £33,000–£44,000 per year, inclusive of the products listed in the branch information; the procurement value is recorded as £44,000 gross. Evaluation begins with a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances. Candidates passing that assessment proceed to an assessment of their suitability to run a Post Office branch.

The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is best suited to a retailer able to take on a Post Office Main branch within an existing business or a proposed venture, and to operate a dedicated counter area providing the full range of Post Office services. Applicants need to present a business plan and finances that pass the buyer’s mandatory financial assessment, then demonstrate suitability to run a branch. The branch layout can be agreed to fit the retailer’s business, offering scope to integrate the Post Office operation with the wider retail premises. The opportunity therefore calls for retail operating capability and a credible, financially sound business plan.
