## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to take on the Wynyard Post Office in Wynyard, County Durham. The successful retailer can either purchase the current business or add Post Office Local services to an existing or proposed retail business. Post Office Local brings postal counter services into the retailer’s shop, with those services offered during the same opening hours as the retail business. The branch’s layout and design will be agreed with the selected retailer to suit the business. This is a service opportunity rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The work is based at the Wynyard branch and involves operating Post Office services as part of a retail operation.

The buyer invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure, using a multi-stage assessment of postmaster candidates. The tender submission deadline was 3 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC; the stated end of the award period was 3 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is 3 January 2027 to 3 January 2077. The estimated Post Office fees for the current location are £8,000–£14,000 per annum; the published estimated gross value is £8,000. Assessment is ordered: applicants must first pass a financial assessment of their business plan and finances, or their application will not proceed. Candidates who pass are assessed for suitability to run a Post Office branch.

This opportunity is best suited to an established or proposed retailer able to integrate postal services into a viable shop operation. The buyer describes the desired retail business as vibrant and sustainable, and expects Post Office services to be available during the retailer’s opening hours. A supplier should therefore be able to operate a retail business with hours and day-to-day capacity that support the branch service, while fitting the Post Office counter into the shop; the precise layout and design can be agreed with the buyer. Applicants need a credible business plan and finances strong enough to pass the mandatory financial assessment, followed by suitability to run a Post Office branch. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
