Major Government programmes include Health and Education (each of which is several billion annually) and Defence Estates (c £1bn). However in both health and education there is no central client as such as the responsibility is devolved through 600 Trusts (Acute Hospital, Primary Care, Ambulance etc). As such suggested contacts for these organisations may not be the client as such but could well lead to other people down the line

Major improvement to London's infrastructure is essential to maintain and further exploit London's attractiveness to inward investment. Investment in Thames Gateway is critical to this improvement, because Thames Gateway is the only part of the capital able to sustain the massive scale of growth required in housing and jobs if London is to retain its pre-eminence.
Maybe the nearest to a client in this is Ralph Luck OBE who is English Partnerships Director for Thames Gateway.
