MPB Invests in Power and Performance: Welcoming the New Volvo FH16 780 Tractor Unit

Posted on 10th July 2025

We are delighted to announce a major new addition to the MPB Structures fleet: the stunning Volvo FH16 780 6×4 tractor unit. This vehicle represents a massive investment in our operational capabilities and our ongoing commitment to quality and efficiency.

This powerful new tractor unit is a strategic acquisition designed to enhance our logistical strength. Its primary role will be to transport our extensive range of plant, including our heavy excavator fleet, to our large-scale infrastructure projects across the UK. Having this top-of-the-range vehicle in our fleet ensures that we can mobilise our essential equipment reliably and efficiently, providing seamless support to our project sites.

The addition of the Volvo FH16 780 underscores our company ethos of “Quality from the Ground Up.” By investing in the best equipment, we ensure we can meet the complex demands of our projects and continue to deliver the high standards our clients expect from MPB Structures.

We would like to extend our thanks to Volvo Trucks for their excellent service throughout the procurement process. A special thank you goes to Transport Solutions Executive Oliver Wright for supplying this fantastic vehicle to us.

The new FH16 is more than just a truck; it’s a testament to our growth and our dedication to having the best tools for the job. We look forward to seeing it out on the road, supporting our projects nationwide.

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.
