CMA draft Annual Plan consultation 2026 to 2027
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is consulting on its draft Annual Plan for 2026 to 2027.
About this consultation
This Annual Plan is the first detailed implementation plan under our new 2026 to 2029 Strategy, which laid out our purpose of promoting competition and protecting consumers with a clear end goal in mind: to drive economic growth and improve household prosperity.
Our draft Annual Plan sets out annual priorities and changes we are making to the way we work for each of our functions. These reflect the 5 core objectives in our Strategy, and the outcomes we will contribute to for the UK’s economy, citizens and businesses.
We want to hear from you
We welcome views from stakeholders and interested parties, and are seeking views on the following questions:
Do you agree with the CMA’s proposed priorities for the year ahead?
How can the CMA engage with our stakeholders effectively in the year ahead?
Do you have any other comments on the CMA’s draft Annual Plan?
We will also hold an online consultation event on 5 February, in which you can hear from the CMA's leadership team about our plans for the year ahead, and provide feedback.
