Details

The GCA has considered information submitted to it and has made an assessment of that information in line with the published Statutory guidance on how the Groceries Code Adjudicator will carry out investigation and enforcement functions.

The GCA has concluded that it has reasonable grounds to suspect that Amazon has broken paragraph 5 of the Code (No delay in Payments) in relation to certain of its practices from 1 March 2022, the date of Amazon’s designation, to 20 June 2025, the date of this Notice. 

Having applied its published prioritisation principles and being satisfied that it is proportionate to investigate, the GCA is launching an investigation into the conduct of Amazon in respect of paragraph 5 of the Code.
