The Edge: March 2026

The March edition of The Edge highlights key developments across construction, infrastructure and procurement.

This month reflects a strong level of activity across infrastructure, alongside continued pressure across the wider market. While innovation and long-term investment remain a focus, challenges around cost, delivery and output are still influencing how projects progress.

Key themes include:

• Continued infrastructure investment across transport, energy and regional development programmes
• Increased use of AI and digital technologies, particularly across rail, electrification and design processes
• Ongoing focus on sustainability, including hydrogen trials, circular construction initiatives and lower-carbon materials
• Advancements in plant, equipment and construction methods to support efficiency and site safety
• Changes in training, funding and workforce development to address skills gaps
• Regulatory updates and proposed reforms impacting procurement, payments and compliance
• Market pressures, including declining construction output and cautious tender price forecasts

The Edge supports WeBid Consult’s commitment to sharing industry insight, helping ensure tender responses remain aligned with current market conditions.
