The precise layout and design will be agreed to fit the retail premises. The location is identified as Battlefield Post Office, SY4 3EQ, and the service is intended to operate as part of a sustainable, active retail business.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, multi-stage procedure to assess candidates’ suitability to run a Post Office branch. The submission deadline was 14 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time. The stated award decision deadline was 14 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is 14 December 2026 to 14 December 2076. The estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £8,000–£14,000 per year, including the listed products; the stated gross procurement value is £14,000. The assessment first applies a mandatory pass/fail review of the business plan and finances; applications that fail do not progress.

This opportunity suits retailers able to integrate postal counter services into a functioning or planned shop and keep the service available over the same opening hours as their retail business. The buyer will agree the branch layout and design with the successful retailer, allowing the counter to be fitted to the business. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable. Competing businesses should be prepared to submit a credible business plan and financial information that can pass the mandatory assessment, followed by a suitability assessment focused on running a Post Office branch. The requirement therefore favours retailers with the financial standing, operational capacity and relevant retail experience to sustain an integrated local service over a long-term contract.
