## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to add Post Office Local counter services to an existing or proposed retail business in Newlyn, near Penzance. The service is intended to operate alongside the shop’s retail offer, with Post Office services available during the retailer’s opening hours. The exact layout and design will be agreed to fit the business. The requirement is for post office counter services, rather than a standalone branch operation, and is located in the Newlyn area of Cornwall.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, multi-stage process to assess candidates’ suitability as postmasters. The buyer set 13 January 2027 as the submission deadline and 13 February 2027 as the end of the award decision period. The proposed contract period runs from 13 March 2027 to 13 March 2077. The estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £8,000–£14,000 per year; the stated tender value is £8,000 gross. The opportunity is a single requirement, and small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are considered suitable. Evaluation includes a mandatory pass/fail financial assessment of the business plan and finances; candidates who fail do not proceed to the suitability assessment for running a branch.

This opportunity suits a retailer able to integrate postal counter services into an existing shop or a proposed retail business, sharing its premises and opening hours with the Post Office offer. The buyer will agree the counter layout and design with the selected retailer, allowing it to be tailored to the business. Applicants need a credible business plan and finances that pass the mandatory financial assessment, followed by evidence that they are suitable to run a Post Office branch. The assessment is therefore relevant to retailers able to demonstrate both financial viability and the practical suitability to operate branch services. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are expressly considered suitable.
