Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) and Delivery Partner Models

This PwC report outlines how EPCM and Delivery Partner models offer adaptable, client-side delivery solutions for complex infrastructure projects. Used alongside traditional contracting methods, these models enable greater project control, access to specialist resources, and flexibility through disaggregated procurement. Key features include staged engagement, enhanced risk management, and incentive-based performance. They are particularly valuable in resource-constrained or fast-paced delivery environments, though require careful governance to avoid added complexity or scope creep.

Lessons Learned: Private Finance For Infrastructure

This National Audit Office report distils twelve lessons from decades of infrastructure financing to inform the UK’s evolving approach to private finance. It identifies three areas critical to success: establishing investor and public confidence through clear mandates and credible pipelines; making robust, transparent decisions on risk, cost, and value; and adopting commercial strategies that ensure effective procurement, contract management, and readiness for supplier failure. The report draws on case studies including Hinkley Point C and Thames Tideway to support its recommendations.

The Infrastructure Pipeline

The Infrastructure Pipeline is the ten year forward look of investment into major UK capital infrastructure. Launched in July 2025, it supports the strategic framework of the government’s ‘UK Infrastructure: a 10 Year Strategy and is part of the government’s growth mission and the ‘Plan for Change’. The Infrastructure Strategy set out at least £725 billion of public funding for infrastructure over ten years and highlighted the critical role played by private investment alongside this. The Infrastructure Pipeline captures the projects and programmes from public and private sectors that will deliver the 10 Year Strategy.

Through a series of regular updates, the Pipeline will become a comprehensive database of information for construction firms and investors looking to understand future demand.

Key Insights: Driving DCO Leadership

This fourth report in CJ Associates’ Key Insights series explores how leadership — not just process — shapes the successful delivery of major infrastructure through the Development Consent Order (DCO) regime. While the framework is vital, too many projects still face delays, risk, and avoidable setbacks.

Drawing on interviews and a focused roundtable with senior figures from planning, legal, infrastructure, and delivery, this report identifies where leadership is most critical. From early legal integration to strong programme governance and authentic engagement, it offers practical lessons for improving outcomes across the DCO lifecycle.
