The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) works with industry to improve the delivery and performance of infrastructure.

We do this through groups such as the Infrastructure Client Group and Construction Leadership Council, tools such as the Project Initiation Routemap and the Government Construction Strategy which seeks to increase productivity in government construction. The strategy aims to deliver £1.7 billion efficiencies and support 20,000 apprenticeships over the course of this parliament.

The IPA has published its latest programme, Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030, which describes a vision for the future in which we prioritise the outcomes we need, and use modern digital approaches and technologies, to achieve them.
