Freedom of Information Act: Request for information on Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) activities

Thank you for your email of 5 June 2025 regarding contact details for legal correspondence from third parties. You asked:

  1. Whether your organisation has one or more specific teams, departments, or named individuals responsible for receiving formal legal correspondence from third parties.

  2. The relevant postal address(es), email address(es), and telephone number(s) that such correspondence should be directed to. If responsibility differs by type of issue (e.g. contractual, procurement-related, legal) or by region, please provide the details for each as applicable.

  3. If this information is already published, please confirm where it can be found.

General right of access to information held by public authorities

Under section 1(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, anyone making a request for information to the GCA, as a public authority, is entitled to be informed in writing whether it holds that information, and if so, to be supplied with it.

The GCA holds the information you have requested. For ease of reference, I have answered below your questions as numbered above.

  1. The GCA is a small organisation and does not have a specific team or named individual responsible for receiving formal legal correspondence.

  2. The relevant postal address for the GCA is: Groceries Code Adjudicator, 7th Floor, The Cabot, 25 Cabot Square, London, E14 4QZ. The relevant email address is: enquiries@groceriescode.gov.uk. The relevant phone number is: 020 7215 6537

  3. The information above is available on the GCA’s website: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/groceries-code-adjudicator.

Appeals Procedure

Alternatively, you can email: enquiries@groceriescode.gov.uk.

We will aim to deal with your Internal Review request within 20 working days of receipt or, if that is not possible, advise you of a date when we expect to complete the review.
