The CMA has published its interim response to the consultation and issued revised guidance for the Procedure for dealing with requests to carry out the test in Schedule 4 of the Groceries Market Investigation (Controlled Land) Order 2010.

Update on the CMA鈥檚 internally developed software tool

30 March 2021: In the CMA鈥檚 consultation response of 27 November 2020, we delayed the introduction of the CMA鈥檚 internally developed software tool and the proposed changes associated with the tool. In this response, we committed to provide an update on our plans regarding the tool by 31 March 2021.

The work on the CMA鈥檚 internal software tool is ongoing and our development team is still working to make sure that the issue previously identified is fully addressed. In light of this, we will continue to use the updated version of the 鈥楥LO Procedures Guidance鈥� which was published on 27 November 2020. This includes a number of proposed changes to the Test procedure which respondents were broadly supportive of. See our 鈥楻esponse to the consultation鈥� document, for further detail on the nature of these changes.

We will provide a further update on our plans for the tool and proposed associated changes once the development work is complete and it is possible to use the tool operationally within the CMA鈥檚 test procedures.
