Several major international infrastructure investors who have invested in UK infrastructure assets under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model formed The Association of Infrastructure Investors in Public Private Partnerships (AIIP) in October 2023. The members include InfraRed Capital Partners Limited, Dalmore Capital Limited, Equitix Investment Management Limited, Alba Infra Partners and Semperian PPP Investment Partners Group Limited. The AIIP aims to provide a positive and co-ordinated voice for engagement on specific industry issues with key stakeholders including the UK Government, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and sponsoring government departments. 

The AIIP was formed to:

• Discuss and share expertise on the best approaches to prioritising, planning, maintaining, operating, and handing back infrastructure projects under the PPP model, including the UK Government’s Private Finance Initiative (PFI).

• Advocate for the continuous improvement of standards across the UK PFI industry, by working together with relevant public sector bodies and key supply chain partners to develop and implement practices and initiatives that promote collaboration, innovation and improved performance in the infrastructure sector.

• Provide a forum through which robust forward-looking solutions and actions can be efficiently and effectively developed and promoted, based on the commercial and contracting principles of PPP

The AIIP is working with DLA Piper UK LLP and Curshaw to support its activities.
