Designing the licence competition
The context for the National Lottery has changed since the third licence was awarded. For example, technology-based products and services have been widely introduced and continue to change rapidly. We view the next licence competition as an opportunity to bring innovative new ideas that sustain and grow the National Lottery, and ensure it remains relevant and attractive to all parts of society.
We have established a team to design and manage the competition for the next licence. We are creating a level playing field for all potential bidders and will run a fair, open and robust competition to help us meet our statutory duties on propriety, player protection and returns to good causes.
Following the launch of the programme in November 2018, we have been carrying out market engagement across the globe to explore opportunities for innovation, particularly the technology and communications sectors, to help us design the next licence for 2023 and beyond.
This document sets out the key policy areas that will inform the design of the next licence.
