Infrastructure Projects Authority

The Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) is a government body that oversees and supports the planning, delivery, and management of major public infrastructure projects in the UK. Its goal is to ensure these projects are effectively managed, delivered on time, within budget, and meet quality standards. The IPA provides guidance, sets standards, and assesses project risks to improve public investment. It helps government departments and agencies deliver vital infrastructure like transport, energy, and digital services efficiently, ultimately aiming to enhance public services and economic growth through well-managed infrastructure development.
