Devolved administations

Public Private Partnerships are a devolved matter with the Administrations setting their own policy for delivery. Recognising the value from close collaboration on such issues, Infrastructure UK has set up a working group to discuss areas of mutual interest.

Northern Ireland

Responsibility for the development and co-ordination of PPP policy in Northern Ireland is held by the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, in conjunction with the Department of Finance and Personnel.

Working with government departments and the Strategic Investment Board, they aim to develop knowledge and skills and identify new PPP models required to deliver investment in Northern Ireland infrastructure.

Strategic Investment Board

The Strategic Investment Board Limited (SIB) supports the Northern Ireland Executive and Government Departments in delivering the Investment Strategy for Northern Ireland (ISNI).

SIB's team of 18 Advisers provides strategic advice to Ministers on the development and roll-out of ISNI. It also supports the public sector to deliver infrastructure projects successfully. Depending on the requirement, SIB adds value by providing expertise on project and programme management, procurement law, corporate finance and regulation, community regeneration and/or strategic planning.
