Core offering

Members gain access to an annual programme of 30+ events (seminars, conferences, prestige lectures, professional development courses), an extensive knowledge resource library including Learning Legacies, reports, podcasts and videos, and member-led special interest networks covering sustainability, inclusion, project sponsorship, social value and transformation.

Product overview

The Major Projects Association is a membership association offering a unified platform of community and knowledge services rather than a traditional software product. Its core offering consists of an Events Programme (30+ annual events with detailed reports), Knowledge Resources (Learning Legacies, reports, podcasts, videos), Member-led Networks (Sustainability Ambassadors, Inclusion Hub, Project Sponsors Network, Social Value Forum, Transformation Network), and Professional Development programmes (Rising Stars, Major Projects Simulator, Challenge of Major Projects, Mentoring, PhD Research Grants).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE): A long-established UK professional body covering the full breadth of civil engineering, including infrastructure delivery. Comparable because many of MPA's members are ICE members as well, and ICE runs overlapping knowledge programmes and events targeted at major infrastructure.
• FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers): An international umbrella body for engineering consultancies, including those delivering major projects. Comparable to MPA because its membership (firms like AECOM, Jacobs, Arcadis, Stantec) substantially overlaps MPA's member roster, and FIDIC runs global events and policy forums on consulting engineering.
• Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB): A UK-anchored professional body focused on construction and built environment management, including major projects. Comparable because it serves a similar practitioner audience (project directors, sponsors, construction leaders) and competes for the same membership mindshare in the UK.

Direct peers

• Association for Project Management (APM): The UK's chartered body for the project profession, offering membership, qualifications (APMQ, PMQ), and events for project professionals. Directly comparable to MPA in mission and UK focus, and the most immediate substitute for organisations deciding which association to join.
• Project Management Institute (PMI): The leading global project management membership body, known for the PMP certification, Standards+, and a large global events portfolio. Comparable to MPA in serving major-project practitioners but at a vastly larger international scale with diversified certification and training revenue.
• International Project Management Association (IPMA): A global federation of national PM associations offering the IPMA certification framework and international knowledge exchange. Comparable to MPA as a knowledge-sharing community for project practitioners across borders, though operating through member associations rather than direct membership.

Others

• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): A UK-headquartered global professional body for surveyors and infrastructure commercial professionals. Comparable as an adjacent professional membership body whose infrastructure and project management members overlap with MPA's audience.
• Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA): The UK government's centre of expertise for infrastructure and major projects, publishing the Government Major Projects Portfolio data and Project Initiation Routemap. Comparable to MPA because it shapes the same policy and standards environment that MPA's members operate in, though IPA is a government body rather than a membership association.
