The Core Tables are a new requirement from 2025 to 2026 following updated HM Treasury guidance. They summarise the Competition and Markets Authority鈥檚 (CMA鈥檚) historic net resource and capital expenditure (Outturn) for the years 2021 to 2022 to 2025 to 2026 and future net resource and capital expenditure (Plan) for the years 2026 to 2027 to 2028 to 2029. The Plan data may be subject to change as it is based on future spend forecasts.

Historic data aligns with our published Annual Report and Accounts and future plans are in line with the CMA鈥檚 Spending Review 2025 settlement, adjusted for any public spending announcements made at other fiscal events. The data included within these Core Tables also align with HM Treasury鈥檚 Online System for Central Accounting and Reporting (OSCAR).

Table 1 sets out total resource and capital expenditure split between Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) and Annually Managed Expenditure (AME). Table 2 sets out the CMA鈥檚 financial performance in running the department, through our corporate and support functions, against the administration control total set by HM Treasury, predominantly at Spending Reviews.

In accordance with PES (2026) 01 section 14.1, this schedule supports the following:

Table 1 - Public Spending, which provides a summary of departmental net expenditure using the same headings as voted within the Estimate.

Table 2 - Administration Budgets, which ensures that there is continued visibility around administration spend.

Table 1: Public Spending

AME budgets (Resource and Capital) are demand -led and revised annually at the Supply Estimate process. Plans for Resource AME represent depreciation charges which from 2026 to 2027 will be categorised as AME expenditure as per HM Treasury rules.
