## Summary

Post Office Limited sought a retailer to incorporate and operate a Post Office branch within an existing or proposed business in Woodley. The requirement is for post office counter services, delivered locally in Woodley, in the South East of England. The branch is intended to maintain local access to Post Office services. This is a retail-based service opportunity: the operator combines Post Office provision with a wider retail business, rather than supplying goods or carrying out construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ASRA PO LTD. Post Office Limited used a direct award after the previous contract ended unexpectedly, to maintain continuity of service and local access. The award date was 21 July 2026. The awarded gross value is £50,400. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 20 October 2076. The process comprised one lot. The published description gives estimated Post Office fees at the existing location as £50,400 to £56,000 per annum. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

For a future Woodley requirement, a credible competitor would need to be an established or proposed retailer able to incorporate a Post Office branch into its business and provide counter services for the local community. The award demonstrates demand for continuity of a local service through a direct award following disruption to the prior arrangement, and shows that a small business can operate the service. Retailers with suitable premises, the capacity to run a branch alongside their core business and the ability to sustain community access would be well placed to compete. The stated scale is a long-term branch operation with annual Post Office fees in the range given in the procurement description.
