The Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) purpose is to help people, businesses and the UK economy by protecting competition and tackling unfair behaviour.
________________________________________
About this consultation
The CMA issued a consultation relating to the markets regime guidance documents in 2024, proposing updates to reflect changes resulting from the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA) and changes in other legislation since the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, to reflect developments in CMA practice over time, and to simplify the suite of markets regime guidance documents.
The CMA is now proposing further amendments to the markets regime guidance. The proposed amendments build on and incorporate feedback received in our 2024 consultation and also apply the ‘4Ps’ framework to the markets regime, as outlined in the CMA’s markets approach document published on 24 July 2025. The ‘markets regime guidance’ encompasses into a single document the previous guidance documents consulted on in the 2024 Consultation.
