Prior to this, IUK was located within HM Treasury, transferring to the Cabinet Office in April 2016 when it became part of the IPA. IUK itself was formed in 2010 following the transfer of a public private partnership (Partnerships UK - PUK) into HM Treasury. As part of the terms of these transfers TUPE was applied to certain members of staff. Core IPA teams include experts in infrastructure, project delivery and project finance who work with government departments and industry.
