Update on the CMA’s internally developed software tool
30 March 2021: In the CMA’s consultation response of 27 November 2020, we delayed the introduction of the CMA’s 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’s 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 ‘CLO Procedures Guidance’ 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 ‘Response to the consultation’ 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’s test procedures.
