Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) is running a tender exercise for the provision of counter services in the vicinity of the existing Windsor Road Post Office in Douglas.
It comes following the decision by the incumbent sub postmaster to terminate her contract for service with effect from July 10, 2024.
IOMPO is seeking to maintain counter, postal and bill payment services in this area and invites submissions from interested parties who could provide these services.
This opportunity is for a fixed period, until March 31, 2025, with the option to extend one year.
Post Office Tender
Stu Peters MHK, Chairman of Isle of Man Post Office said: “I would like to place on record our grateful thanks to the outgoing sub postmistress Lynda Braidwood for the services she and her team have provided on our behalf and that of our commercial partners for 43 years.”
He continued: “By starting the expression of interest now, it will allow us to adhere to the required procurement protocol and understand what interest there may be from existing or new businesses in the community.”
The closing date for expressing an interest is noon on Tuesday, April 2.
Information can be found online on IOMPO’s website and on the Isle of Man Government website.
Windsor Road Post Office is operated by an independent retailer acting as a sub postmaster to provide postal services and therefore the building in which a post office is housed is also the business of the sub postmaster.
