The ICE hosted NISTA for a discussion with infrastructure leaders about the benefits and development of the UK’s new project pipeline.
The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) recently launched the first iteration of a new UK infrastructure pipeline.
This is a dynamic list of infrastructure and construction projects and programmes being progressed and planned over a 10-year period.
NISTA is keen to engage with industry stakeholders to gather feedback on the first iteration of the pipeline and collaborate on its development, ensuring that it drives improvements in infrastructure delivery.
As part of that work, the ICE hosted a roundtable with leaders from construction and consulting firms to discuss the pipeline.
The discussion was chaired by ICE director of policy and external affairs, Sam Gould, and joined by Jon Loveday, director of infrastructure, enterprise and growth at NISTA.
The discussion covered the following key points:
- NISTA’s new approach to the pipeline and its plans for future iterations
- Balancing certainty with the need to provide signals on the direction of travel to unlock skills development and investment.
- Driving behaviour change in government departments around pipeline development, data sharing and procurement.
- Maximising the wider uses of the pipeline by industry and government.
