## Summary

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to add a Post Office Local service to an existing or proposed retail business in Old Colwyn, near Colwyn Bay. The service will be integrated into the shop, allowing customers to use Post Office services during the retailer’s opening hours. The branch layout and design will be agreed with the selected retailer to fit the business. This is a retail-based postal counter service, rather than a standalone post office operation. The opportunity is intended for a business able to combine Post Office services with its wider retail offer at the branch location in Old Colwyn, Wales.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive procedure, using a multi-stage assessment of postmaster candidates. Applications first undergo a mandatory pass/fail assessment of the business plan and finances; only those that pass proceed to assessment of suitability to run a Post Office branch. The buyer set a submission deadline of 29 November 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC and an award decision date of 29 December 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The contract period is set from 29 January 2027 to 29 January 2077. The estimated Post Office fees at the current location are £10,500–£13,250 per year. The procurement is arranged as one lot, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits an established retailer, or someone developing a retail business, who can incorporate postal counter services into their normal shop operation. A viable business plan and finances that pass the buyer’s mandatory financial assessment are essential to progress. Candidates must also demonstrate suitability to operate a Post Office branch, although the published criteria do not set out detailed qualifications or accreditations. The selected retailer will need a business capable of accommodating the service and maintaining it alongside its wider retail activity and opening hours. The buyer will agree the branch layout and design with the successful retailer, offering scope to fit the service into the premises and retail model. The process explicitly welcomes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
