## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to operate a Post Office Main branch in Sherwood, Nottingham. The successful retailer will add a dedicated Post Office area to an existing or proposed business and provide the full range of Post Office services. The layout and design will be agreed with the retailer to suit the business. This is a post office counter service opportunity, classed as a service contract. The branch is in the Sherwood area of Nottingham. It is intended for a retailer able to combine the Post Office operation with their own business, rather than for a supplier delivering goods or a standalone consultancy service.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a multi-stage assessment of candidates’ suitability. The tender submission deadline was 20 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time; the stated award decision date was 20 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is scheduled to run from 20 December 2026 to 20 December 2076. The published procurement value is £36,000 gross. Separately, estimated Post Office fees at the current location are stated as £36,000–£45,000 per annum. The opportunity is one lot. Evaluation starts with a mandatory pass/fail financial assessment of the business plan and finances; candidates passing that assessment are then assessed for suitability to run a Post Office branch.

The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is aimed at retailers who can incorporate a dedicated Post Office area into an existing or proposed business and deliver the full range of branch services. Applicants need a credible business plan and finances that pass the mandatory financial assessment; those who pass must also meet the buyer’s suitability criteria for running a Post Office branch. The buyer will agree the precise layout and design with the selected retailer, allowing it to be fitted to the business. This suits an operator able to manage a retail business alongside a substantial, long-term Post Office service commitment.
