## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to take on the Dyce Post Office in Aberdeen, either by purchasing the existing business or by adding a Post Office Local to an existing or planned retail business. The service would be integrated into the retailer’s shop, with Post Office services offered during the same opening hours as the retail business. The layout and design would be agreed to fit the retailer’s business. The work is the provision of post office counter services as part of a retail operation, delivered in Dyce, Aberdeen. The opportunity is aimed at businesses able to combine local postal services with a sustainable retail offer and provide suitable premises and opening hours.

Post Office Limited invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure, using a multi-stage process to assess candidates’ suitability. Bids were to be submitted electronically or in English. The submission deadline was 15 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC, with the award decision due by 15 February 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The stated contract period runs from 15 March 2027 to 15 March 2077. The estimated value is £18,500, with estimated Post Office fees at the current location stated as £18,500–£23,000 per year. There is one lot. Assessment begins with a mandatory pass/fail review of the business plan and finances; only applicants who pass proceed to assessment of their suitability to run a Post Office branch.

The opportunity suits retailers able to operate a viable, sustainable shop alongside Post Office Local services, with opening hours that can accommodate both. The buyer welcomes applications from small and medium-sized businesses and from voluntary, community and social enterprises. Applicants need to demonstrate financial viability through their business plan and finances, since failing the required financial assessment prevents progression to the suitability stage. They must also meet the buyer’s criteria for suitability to run a Post Office branch. The branch layout is intended to be agreed around the retailer’s business, offering scope to integrate the service into an existing or proposed retail operation. This is therefore most relevant to a retailer with the capacity to run counter services as part of its day-to-day shop operations and a credible plan for doing so.
