MPB HELPING KEEP CORBY CLEAN AND LITTER FREE

Posted on 10th August 2022

MPB has donated £1000 to the wonderful Corby Wombles, a group of over 700 volunteer litter-pickers who help to keep Corby clean and litter-free.

The donation has been used to fund the purchase of 12 sets of signs and associated items which will be used at group litter picks or where regular Wombles collect rubbish, to raise awareness of the Wombles’ work and encourage people not to drop litter in the first place.

As a Corby-based business, we are delighted to be able to support this fantastic community initiative and thank the hardworking Wombles who are helping to keep our local environments safe and clean.

Keep up the great work Wombles!

MPB Welcomes New Procurement Policy Note Prioritising Skills in Public Contracts

Posted on August 10, 2026

MPB Structures welcomes the recent announcement from the Cabinet Office regarding the new Procurement Policy Note (PPN). Effective from January 2027, the updated framework will double the minimum social value weighting to 20 per cent on government contracts valued at £5 million or more. Most notably, the policy refines social value outcomes to two core criteria: ‘good jobs’ and ‘skills’. This structural change means that apprenticeships, training, and work placements will effectively count for double in the bidding process. As an organisation deeply committed to workforce development, we fully endorse this strategic alignment of public spending with long-term skills generation.
