Completing Competition Assessments in Impact Assessments (PDF, OFT website, opens in new window)
Impact Assessments must generally be produced for interventions of a regulatory nature, and a competition assessment must be produced as part of this to consider whether the proposal will have a significant effect on competition. This guidance provides advice on answering the four questions in the competition assessment. Whilst the guidance has been designed to assist with the impact assessment process, the framework can be used to assess the competition effects of any other interventions. -
