Tier 1 contractors publish 'A Blueprint for Growth'

The Blueprint for Growth is a collaborative effort between 12 Tier One contractors including Britpave members AtkinsRéalis, Balfour Beatty, Costain, Morgan Sindall, Mott Macdonald, VolkerWessels UK together with Bam, Galliford Try, Laing O’Rourke, Mace, Vinci Construction, and WSP.

Collectively directly employing nearly 100,000 people across the UK and representing £25bn of UK revenue – which the group argue can be factored by at least a three-fold economic impact as infrastructure investment generates significantly wider economic benefit in the wider supply chain and communities – the Blueprint for Growth represents the asks of a significant portion of the UK infrastructure and construction industry.

The 12 contractors identify “an established and clear correlation between investment in infrastructure and GDP growth – with the industry one of the most effective, efficient, and sustainable ways of spreading jobs and skills across the country”. In particular, the Blueprint for Growth calls for a future government to:

• Depoliticise infrastructure.
• Appoint a Cabinet Minister responsible for infrastructure.
• Increase private investment in public infrastructure.
• Timely, holistic decision-making on key areas.
• Improve budget setting for infrastructure schemes.
• Efficient risk allocation.
• Investment continuity.
• Simplify the judicial review process.
• Mandate consideration of the national interest.
• Self-certification system to accelerate delivery of infrastructure projects.
• Transform the Apprenticeship Levy.
• A flexible immigration system.

The current government’s Major Projects Portfolio consists of an unprecedented 244 projects requiring delivery. Blueprint for Growth highlights how the stop-start funding nature of many national infrastructure projects together with the resultant uncertainty around funding and political commitment for such projects over the long-term, the infrastructure sector struggles to attract the scale of investment it needs to maximise its potential.
