## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to incorporate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed retail business at Carr House Road, Doncaster. The service combines Post Office counter services with the retailer’s own shop, with Post Office services offered during the retail business’s opening hours. The branch layout and design will be agreed to fit the retailer’s business. The opportunity is for a single Post Office branch and is suited to businesses able to provide a retail setting alongside local postal services.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a multi-stage assessment of postmaster candidates. The deadline for expressions of interest and applications was 5 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC; the planned award decision date was 5 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is scheduled to run from 5 January 2027 to 5 January 2077. Estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £8,000–£14,000 per year; the published procurement value is £8,000. There is one lot. Evaluation includes a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; applicants who fail do not proceed. Candidates who pass are assessed for suitability to run a Post Office branch.

The opportunity is explicitly considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It may suit an established retailer looking to add Post Office counter services, or a business planning a new retail operation, provided it can integrate the branch into its shop and maintain service availability across its opening hours. The financial assessment makes a viable business plan and finances a threshold requirement, before the buyer considers the candidate’s suitability to run a branch. The buyer will agree the branch layout and design with the successful retailer to suit its business. The procurement therefore favours candidates able to demonstrate both a sustainable retail operation and the practical suitability to manage Post Office services.
