The '''Infrastructure and Projects Authority''' ('''IPA''') is the United Kingdom government's centre of expertise for infrastructure and major projects. The IPA sits at the heart of government, reporting to the [[Cabinet Office]] and [[HM Treasury]]. The core teams include experts in infrastructure, project delivery and project finance who work with government departments and industry.
The IPA supports the successful delivery of all types of infrastructure and major projects; ranging from railways, schools, hospitals and housing, to defence, IT and major transformation programmes. The IPA leads the project delivery and project finance professions across government.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/96743/html/|title=The Government's Management of Major Projects inquiry|publisher= UK Parliament|access-date=31 March 2025}}</ref>
