We view consumer detriment as the harm or loss that consumers experience, when, for example, • they are misled by unfair market practices into making purchases of goods or services that they would not have otherwise made, • they pay more than what they would have, had they been better informed, • they suffer from unfair contract terms or • the goods and services purchased do not conform to consumers' (reasonable) expectations with respect to delivery, performance or quality, including product safety and authenticity. Consumer detriment can manifest itself in many formats, such as a delayed delivery, substandard service or the purchase of a faulty item. Previous surveys suggest that millions of UK consumers experience some form of consumer detriment every year. Through this survey, we want to robustly quantify the problems' incidence and impact. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/9810b71f-32b3-4cde-ba40-b19ea8ab6821) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
