Every month 14 million people take part in the draw-based games and more play its range of instant wins, with £6.9 billion sales last year alone, we believe, however there is still significant untapped potential for growth which retains the principles of being responsible, safe and fair. 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 want to explore opportunities for innovation and flexibility for the fourth licence and we want to ensure that the National Lottery is relevant and attractive to all parts of society, in line with our priorities and statutory duties. We would like to hear from existing lottery operators, new entrants, businesses and investors interested in the National Lottery, which could include end-to-end solution operators and/or finance or technology providers. We are undertaking initial market engagement between now and the end of January 2019 with more detailed discussions thereafter.

Publication of this PIN under Directive 2014/24/EU should not be taken to imply that any future competition will be subject to this, or any other, EU procurement directive: the applicable legal regime will depend on the precise nature of the arrangement(s) being tendered and will be set out in any formal notice for the competition. PLEASE NOTE; No decision has yet been taken on whether the competition will be for a single licence or for multiple licences (i.e. whether there will be single or multiple lots) and if so on the nature of, and rules around tendering, for any such multiple lots.
