The CMA has released guidance establishing a framework of actions on cloud and business software services under the UK's digital markets competition regime. The document outlines specific competition concerns and required conduct for providers of cloud infrastructure and business software. The regime applies to designated undertakings operating within the UK digital markets.

Technology companies providing cloud services and business software in the UK must review their current practices against the CMA's published actions. Entities should assess whether their commercial practices, pricing structures, or interoperability requirements align with the competition standards set out in this guidance. Failure to comply with digital markets competition orders may result in enforcement action, including significant financial penalties.
