CMA vet price-list deadlines

The CMA final report was published on 24 March 2026. Current CMA guidance says the Order is expected in September 2026, with standard price-list obligations due 3 months after the Order for larger businesses and 6 months after the Order for smaller businesses. This tracker uses the official phased timetable rather than treating November 2026 as a confirmed universal deadline.

What this means

  • The main data opportunity is the phased publication of clearer practice price, ownership and service information.
  • CompareVetPricing keeps practices without price pages in a recrawl queue so newly published price lists can be detected quickly.
  • Newly discovered prices still pass source, comparability, publishability and stats-eligibility gates before they affect public pages.

Timing

The current CMA readiness window runs from the expected September 2026 Order through the larger-business and smaller-business compliance phases that follow it.

This page was reviewed on 30 April 2026 by CompareVetPricing content operations. The precise legal obligations should be checked against the final Orders and CMA guidance when they are made.
