II.1.4) Short description
The Gambling Commission is launching a process to award a licence to deliver the UK National Lottery. The current licence to operate the National Lottery expires in 2023 and we are now launching the 4th National Lottery Licence Competition to identify the operator of the next licence. We are running a competition through which potential operators (including consortia) can apply to become the Licensee for the 4th National Lottery Licence. This contract notice serves to notify the market of the launch of competition.
The figure of GBP 6 473 100 000 quoted as ‘Estimated Total Value’ below represents the ‘Net Income’ declared by the current operator under the Third Licence for the 10 years up to and including 2019. Applicants should note that the current licence operates under a very different financial structure to the proposed Fourth Licence and hence the ‘Surplus’ created under the Fourth Licence will vary by Applicant approach, solution and model proposed.
