UK Port Infrastructure Fund Project
GHD collaborated with infrastructure solutions company Costain to deliver the UK’s Port Infrastructure Fund (PIF) project, a key initiative to improve border processes post-Brexit. Appointed by the Cabinet Office, we and Costain implemented a transformative approach that enhanced the UK’s international supply-chain security and biosecurity across 40 ports of entry. The project leveraged data analytics and cross-Whitehall collaboration to streamline border processes, delivering £300 million in infrastructure savings and reducing annual costs to the supply chain by £1 billion.
Working on this groundbreaking project required a high level of expertise from the GHD and Costain team and a close relationship with the Cabinet Office. Our team successfully addressed these challenges with a collaboration-oriented approach, leveraging our knowledge in infrastructure spending, policy development, and cross-departmental collaboration. This project not only fortified the Cabinet Office’s internal capabilities but also delivered the infrastructure within the context of policy updates, a feat seldom accomplished. We believe this project demonstrates our commitment to driving innovative initiatives and setting new standards for enhancing government operations. Looking ahead, we are eager to leverage the experience and learnings gained from this project to deliver meaningful advancements to similar initiatives.”
