New Infrastructure Pipline Published

The Government has published an interactive Infrastructure Pipeline to provide real-time updates on around 780 public and private sectors projects worth £530 billion over the next 10 years. Designed to give businesses across the industry the certainty and confidence they need to invest in skills, innovation and technology, the first iteration of the pipeline reflects public spending settlements agreed as part of the recent Spending Review. The next update planned for early 2026 will add further details following the completion of business planning across Government, which is likely to include Sizewell C after the final investment decision was signed earlier this week.

The pipeline follows publication of the 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy and provides a national and regional picture of planned projects with a total cost of £25 million or above for economic infrastructure and £15 million or above for social infrastructure, including energy, health and social care, transport, water and wastewater, education, and defence. Build UK has welcomed publication of the pipeline, which will provide much needed visibility and stability for the industry, and we are committed to working with the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) to ensure it is an effective tool, supporting improved performance and productivity.

To help businesses use the new pipeline, NISTA is hosting a webinar next Thursday 31 July from 12:00pm – 1:00pm where it will demonstrate the functionality of the online dashboard, and members can register for free. The CLC has also published guidance on pipelines, with further recommendations and a practical checklist for Government departments, which are now responsible for publishing their own procurement pipelines.
