## Summary

The Department for Transport has procured annual corporate membership of the Major Projects Association for its organisation. This is a membership organisation service (CPV 98100000), supporting organisations involved in delivering and developing major projects, programmes and portfolios. The subscription is intended to suit a central government department with a substantial portfolio of capital infrastructure projects. The supplier is Major Projects Association, a large organisation based in Eynsham, Oxfordshire. The purchasing organisation is the Department for Transport, based at Great Minster House in London. The requirement concerns organisational membership and associated access to an association focused specifically on major-project delivery, rather than the design, construction or operation of an individual transport asset.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Major Projects Association. The Department for Transport used a direct award as a sole-supplier, single-tender action without competition, described as a below-threshold services purchase. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £10,585 excluding VAT and £12,702 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. There was one completed lot covering the membership service. The contract title is MPA annual membership 2026-27. The procurement was evaluated through the stated sole-supplier route, rather than competitive bids or a published price-and-quality assessment.

This procurement indicates demand from the Department for Transport for specialist organisational support connected with major projects, programmes and portfolios, particularly within a large capital-infrastructure environment. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be established membership organisations or specialist networks serving public bodies and other organisations delivering major projects. Credibility would depend on demonstrable relevance to major-project development and delivery, an ability to provide corporate rather than individual membership, and sufficient scale to support a central government department with a broad infrastructure portfolio. Organisations with a recognised community of major-project practitioners, useful sector knowledge and services that can be accessed across a department would be closer to this requirement than general business associations or suppliers offering transport delivery services alone.

## Notice

The Major Projects Association (MPA) is a membership association for organisations engaged in the delivery and the development of major projects, programmes and portfolios. DfT maintains an annual corporate subscription of MPA, which is appropriate for a government body with such a large portfolio of capital infrastructure projects. Sole supplier - Single Tender Action - below threshold for services.
