Major Projects Leadership Academy

Scope

We are working with the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA), to develop a replacement contract for the current Major Projects Leadership Academy (MPLA). The MPLA programme develops the skills of senior project leaders across government, making it easier to carry out complex projects effectively. 

The MPLA programme provides:

• a learning curriculum for the leaders of the government’s Major Projects Portfolio  
• a support network made up of experts from the project delivery profession
• more senior leadership development such as programmes and workshops for directors general, permanent secretaries and ministers

Full details of the scope will be included in the bid pack issued with the contract notice.

Our objective is to source a delivery partner that will work with IPA to design the next version of the programme and deliver the MPLA.

The IPA works with the government and industry to make sure infrastructure and other major projects are delivered efficiently and successfully. As the contracting authority, the IPA is working with previous and current MPLA participants, heads of the project delivery profession, and potential bidders for the MPLA contract to capture their future business needs.

Supplier engagement

We want to speak to the market about the IPA’s initial requirements. You can join a virtual event, hosted by the IPA, on Wednesday 20 May.

The meeting will provide background about the IPA, the current MPLA delivery and current thoughts about the IPA’s future requirements. 

We’ll speak to the market again, after this introductory session. We will list any future events, one to one sessions or webinars on this page.
