Abstract
Introduction 1.1 In November 2018, Welsh Government issued a specification for an evaluation that would assess the process and impact of the introduction of a minimum price for alcohol (MPA) in Wales. 1.2 The contract was split into four ‘lots’: • Lot 1 – a Contribution Analysis; • Lot 2 – work with Retailers; • Lot 3 – qualitative work with services and service users; and • Lot 4 – an assessment of impact on the wider population of drinkers. 1.3 Three of the contracts (Lots 1, 3, and 4) were awarded to a consortium of researchers based at Glyndwr University Wrexham, Figure 8 Consultancy, and the University of South Wales 1.

In doing so this report has brought together a range of secondary and primary data material. This includes the interim reports from the other three lots as above, some additional new primary interview data and material from evaluations and reflections on the implementation of pricing policies in other jurisdictions, notably Scotland.
