Post Office Branch - Sea Road

Post Office Limited is seeking a retailer to integrate a Post Office Local into an existing or proposed business at the Sea Road branch in New Milton, located within the Hampshire and Isle of Wight region. The objective is to merge post office counter services into a sustainable retail environment, with the specific layout and design to be mutually agreed upon to fit the business. This concession is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises. The estimated annual Post Office fees for this location range between £10,500 and £13,000. The projected period of performance is an extensive term spanning 50 years, from February 4, 2027, to February 4, 2077. The procurement follows a competitive flexible procedure with a multi-stage evaluation process. Candidates must first pass a mandatory financial assessment of their business plan and finances; failure to pass this stage precludes them from further consideration. Successful applicants must then meet specific suitability criteria to operate a Post Office branch. Interested parties must submit their proposals in English by the deadline of December 4, 2026, at 11:59pm. For further inquiries, the point of contact is the postmaster onboarding team at Post Office Limited.
