FROM THE EDITOR

"This year’s Partnerships Bulletin Year Ahead event will explore the UK government’s plans for the PPP sector. The Infrastructure Strategy confirmed that PPP is back in the government’s infrastructure toolkit, meaning new opportunities will begin to emerge for the industry. And coming soon after the Autumn Budget - where the government plans to unveil its new PPP model for social infrastructure - the event will be a vital platform for gaining first-hand insight into plans and market opportunities.
More than just a conference, it is where the industry comes together to connect with decision-makers, share perspectives and prepare to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2026."
Paul Jarvis,
Managing Editor, Partnership Bulletin
