## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to add a Post Office Main branch to an existing business or a business they plan to establish in Halesworth, Suffolk. The service is post office counter services, provided from a dedicated Post Office area with a full range of services. The branch layout and design will be agreed with the selected retailer to fit the business. This is a service concession opportunity: the retailer would run the branch as part of their retail operation, rather than simply supply counter staff or equipment. The requirement suits retailers interested in operating a local post office alongside their wider business.

The buyer invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure with multiple stages to assess candidates. The deadline for offers was 25 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC; the stated decision date was 25 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period was set to run from 25 December 2026 to 25 December 2076. Estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £33,500–£42,000 per year. Assessment starts with a mandatory pass/fail review of the business plan and finances; only applicants who pass proceed to an assessment of their suitability to run a Post Office branch. One lot covers the opportunity. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable.

This opportunity is best suited to a retailer able to incorporate a dedicated Post Office area into an existing or proposed business and operate a full-service branch. Applicants need to present a business plan and finances capable of passing the mandatory initial assessment; failure at that stage prevents progression to the suitability review. The later assessment considers whether the candidate is suitable to run a Post Office branch. The buyer says the branch layout and design can be agreed to suit the retailer’s business, offering scope to fit the service into the wider retail operation. The stated suitability includes small and medium-sized firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
