2026 annual supplier survey

The GCA's 2026 annual supplier survey is now live. It will remain open until Sunday 22 February, and I encourage as many suppliers as possible to complete it: https://start.yougov.com/refer/v2hzX1srKpYfq7

The survey is carried out by independent polling company YouGov, on behalf of the GCA, and responses will be treated confidentially.

The findings will help me to understand how each of the designated retailers has treated suppliers over the past year and inform the work of the GCA. I will use the results to hold the retailers to account for any issues or concerning behaviour and work with them to drive any necessary improvements.

Next steps

The GCA will publish the results in spring 2026.
