Evidence from the higher education sector supported greater collaboration between providers.

Conclusion
Evidence from the higher education sector supported greater collaboration between providers. We welcome the CMA’s recent update about when collaboration with other higher education providers is permissible. We will monitor any future developments in this space, especially were a situation to arise in which competition law proved a barrier to necessary and desirable collaboration between higher education providers. (Conclusion, Paragraph 181)
