Explore our map of selected projects from the National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline to see some of the planned work in the coming years – and what it will cost.
Investing in infrastructure is part of UK government plans to rebuild the post-COVID economy, and accountants will play a critical role in ensuring that projects are delivered on time and in budget.
The National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline, which was published in June 2020, provides long-term visibility of the government’s existing plans for economic and social infrastructure. ICAEW has produced an interactive map of selected projects in the pipeline, giving an overview of some of the contracts planned for the 2020/21 financial year and beyond.
